Dissecting Tray with Wax
Product Code : LSK-BL-10207
Dissecting Tray with Wax (SKU LSK-BL-10207) is an aluminium tray measuring 300 x 200 x 45 mm, supplied with wax so that a specimen can be pinned out and held flat while it is opened and examined. It serves plant and animal dissection practicals in senior school biology, B.Sc. zoology and botany, and other life science teaching labs. Buyers in schools, colleges, distribution and public tenders can obtain it through Science Lab Supplies, which ships from Ambala, India.
Specifications
The Dissecting Tray with Wax combines an aluminium body with a wax layer for pinning. In short, it measures 300 mm long, 200 mm wide and 45 mm deep, which gives room for a preserved specimen or a set of plant parts plus a little water or preserving fluid during the dissection.

Applications and Experiments for the Dissecting Tray with Wax
The tray gives each student group a contained working surface in which pins can be pushed into the wax to spread and fix tissues. It suits flower and seed dissections in Class 11–12 biology, preserved-specimen dissections in B.Sc. zoology where the syllabus allows them, and botany practicals at college level.
- Class 11–12 biology: opening a flower to separate sepals, petals, stamens and carpels, using the fine scissors and forceps of Dissecting Set A.
- B.Sc. zoology: pinning out a preserved specimen and tracing vessels and nerves with a blunt Seeker Steel.
- Fine dissection of small organisms, with the work viewed through a Junior Dissecting Microscope.
- Seed and fruit studies, where the parts can be laid out side by side and labelled on the wax.
Wash the tray after each class, remove used pins from the wax, and dispose of biological material according to your laboratory rules.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is one 300 x 200 x 45 mm aluminium tray supplied with wax. Dissecting pins, instruments and specimens are not included; pins, scissors and full dissecting sets can be listed on the same quotation so that a bench is ready to use when it arrives.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be prepared for a single tray or for one per student pair across several practical batches. Science Lab Supplies states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and pins or dissecting sets can be priced together with the trays.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the wax in the tray for?
The wax gives a soft base into which dissecting pins can be pushed. Pins hold the specimen and its opened tissues in place, so both hands stay free for the scissors, forceps and seeker during the dissection.
What are the tray dimensions?
The tray measures 300 x 200 x 45 mm, roughly 11.8 x 7.9 x 1.8 inches. The 45 mm depth leaves room to cover a specimen with water or preserving fluid if the practical needs it.
Does the tray come with pins or instruments?
No. It is supplied with its wax only. Chrome-plated dissecting pins and student dissecting sets are available separately and can be quoted with the trays for a complete practical.
Who supplies the Dissecting Tray with Wax?
The tray is supplied by Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala, India. It quotes schools, colleges, distributors and tender contractors directly and can send trays together with pins, boards and instrument sets.
