Dissection Pan
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11660
Dissection Pan (SKU SCL-BLE-11660) is a rectangular metal pan, 28 cm × 20 cm, supplied with a wax layer into which pins are pushed to hold a specimen open during dissection. The metal is chemical resistant, so the pan copes with preserving fluids and routine cleaning. It serves zoology and botany dissection practicals in schools and colleges. From Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies delivers it to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Dissection Pan
The pan gives a contained, pinnable surface for dissections, so fluids stay in the pan and the specimen can be pinned flat as each layer is opened. It fits school and college zoology, botany and anatomy practicals where specimens or plant parts are examined in detail.
- Class 11–12 biology: dissecting flowers, seeds and fruits, pinning each part out on the wax for drawing.
- B.Sc. zoology: earthworm, cockroach or fish dissection, opened with the tools of the Kit for the Preparation of Preparations.
- Nursing and paramedical anatomy classes: demonstrating organ structure on preserved material.
- Teasing apart tissue with a Needle with Handle before placing a sample on a slide.
Push pins in at an angle so they hold firmly, wear gloves, and rinse and dry the pan after each class so the wax surface stays clean.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Dissection Pan is a single rectangular metal pan, 28 cm × 20 cm, supplied with its wax layer. Dissecting instruments, pins and specimens are not included; they can be listed separately on the quotation so that the bench is ready for the first practical.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be prepared for a single pan for the teacher's demonstration or for a pan per pair of students. It confirms packing, delivery time and price for that number, and dissecting sets, boards or pins can be grouped on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and can therefore ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Dissection Pan?
The pan measures 28 cm × 20 cm and is rectangular. That gives room for a small preserved animal or a set of plant parts to be pinned out, with space at the sides for instruments.
What is the wax for?
The wax layer takes dissecting pins, so the specimen can be fixed in position and its skin or tissue pinned back as it is opened. It also protects instrument tips from striking the metal base.
How should the pan be cleaned?
Remove pins and remains, rinse with water and a mild detergent, and dry the pan before storing it. The metal is chemical resistant, but avoid hot water, which can soften the wax surface.
Who supplies the Dissection Pan?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the pan from Ambala, India. It can be priced together with dissecting instruments, pins and boards, so a dissection kit for students is sourced on one quotation.
