Applications and Experiments for the Laboratory Dagger
A small bladed tool is handy wherever solids must be cut or freed before use: trimming cork and rubber, cutting filter paper or wax, and breaking up caked chemicals in a dish. Because the blade is sharp, it should remain a preparation tool handled by staff.
- School chemistry labs: preparing materials for Class 6–12 practicals before the class begins, such as trimming 110 x 140 mm Chromatographic Paper into strips.
- College laboratories: cutting and scraping small quantities of soft solids on a tile before grinding them in an 80 mm Porcelain Mortar and Pestle.
- Laboratory technician training: basic handling and care of bench hand tools, from blades to Crucible Tongs with a 4 cm jaw opening.
The blade is sharp: use it only under supervision, cut away from the body on a stable surface, and store it in a closed drawer out of students’ reach.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Dagger is supplied as a single hand tool with its stainless steel blade and easy-grip handle, as described above. If you need a specific blade form for a particular task, describe it in your enquiry and the quotation will confirm the item offered.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for one tool for the preparation room or several for multiple labs. Every quotation sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the requested quantity, and spatulas, spoons or stirring rods can be added so the prep-room tools arrive together.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and, as a registered exporter, can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Quotations for the tool start from the contact page or the enquiry cart, while larger institutional purchases can follow the lab tender page.
