Razor
Product Code : LSK-DAS-10915
Razor (SKU LSK-DAS-10915) is a steel sectioning razor that is flat on one side and fitted with a plastic handle. The flat face rides along a guide surface or the cut face of the material, so students can slice thin hand sections of stems, roots and leaves for the microscope and trim tissue during dissection. It suits Class 11–12 biology and B.Sc. botany anatomy practicals. Science Lab Supplies quotes the razor from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges and stockists.
Specifications
This sectioning razor's specifications are short and are all captured in the table. In essence, it pairs a steel blade, flat on one side for level slicing, with a plastic handle that gives a steady grip while thin sections are drawn across the material in one smooth stroke.

Applications and Experiments for the Sectioning Razor
The razor is the cutting tool for free-hand and microtome sectioning. Because one side is flat, it can be drawn level across a stem held in pith or across the top of a microtome, producing sections thin enough for light to pass through when stained and mounted in a biology practical.
- Class 11–12 biology (NCERT): cutting transverse sections of dicot and monocot stems and roots for staining on Glass Microscope Slides.
- B.Sc. botany: guiding the flat face across the table of a hand Microtome for even, thin sections.
- Dissection practicals: trimming tissue and preparing specimens on a Polypropylene Cutting Board.
- Leaf and petiole sections for stomata and vascular bundle study.
The blade can cut skin easily: younger students should section only under teacher supervision, cut away from the fingers and keep the razor covered when it is put away.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each razor is supplied as one steel blade, flat on one side, mounted in its plastic handle. A section lifter, dishes for water and stain, and slides or cover glasses can be priced on the same quotation, so a complete section-cutting kit for a class can be ordered together.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
One razor for a teacher's demonstration or a set for every student pair can be quoted. The Science Lab Supplies quotation names packing, delivery time and price for exactly that quantity, and further school biology lab equipment in India can be listed on it.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. To request razors, write in on the contact page, place them in the enquiry cart with the rest of your list, or follow the lab tender page for bids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the razor flat on one side?
The flat side can be laid level against the material or a microtome table and drawn straight across, which helps produce thin sections of even thickness instead of wedge-shaped slices that are hard to see through.
What is the razor used for in a biology lab?
It cuts thin hand sections of plant stems, roots and leaves for staining and microscopy, works with a hand microtome, and can trim tissue during dissection practicals at school and college level.
Who supplies the Razor?
The Ambala, India, team at Science Lab Supplies handles orders for this steel sectioning razor, sending quotations to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors, and the razor can be grouped with section lifters, slides and stains in one order.
How should students handle the razor safely?
Use it only with supervision, cut away from the fingers with the material supported, never test the edge by touch, wipe it dry after use and keep it covered when stored between practical sessions.
