Wooden Dissecting Board
Product Code : LSK-BL-10209
Wooden Dissecting Board (SKU LSK-BL-10209) is a 550 x 380 mm softwood board for dissection practicals. Softwood is chosen because dissecting pins press into it easily and scalpel blades are easy to use on it. It suits plant and preserved-specimen dissections in senior school biology, B.Sc. zoology and botany, and life science teacher training. Science Lab Supplies takes orders for the board from Ambala, India, and quotes schools, colleges, wholesale buyers and tender contractors directly.
Specifications
The Wooden Dissecting Board is cut from softwood to a working surface of 550 x 380 mm. In short, it is a flat board that accepts dissecting pins and scalpel blades, giving a larger pinning area than a tray for spreading out specimens or laying several plant parts side by side.

Applications and Experiments for the Wooden Dissecting Board
The board gives a firm, pin-friendly surface on which specimens can be opened, spread and labelled during a practical. It suits flower, fruit and seed dissections in Class 11–12 biology, preserved-specimen work in B.Sc. zoology where permitted, and plant anatomy practicals in B.Sc. botany.
- Class 11–12 biology: laying out the parts of a flower or fruit and pinning them with labels, using the scissors and forceps of the Elementary Dissecting Set.
- B.Sc. zoology: pinning back skin and muscle layers of a preserved specimen, with holes started by a Dissecting Awl.
- Cutting plant material for section or display with scalpels and Dissecting Scissor Blunt End.
Wipe the board after each class, pull out all pins before storage, and keep sharp blades pointed away from the hands.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Wooden Dissecting Board is supplied as one 550 x 380 mm softwood board. Dissecting pins, scalpels, scissors and specimens are not included; these can be quoted together with the boards so that every student station receives a complete set at the same time.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quotation for a single board or for enough boards to cover every station in a dissection laboratory. Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and pins or instrument sets can be priced on the same quotation.
Registered with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE. Send the number of boards you need via the contact page, add them to the enquiry cart, or refer to the lab tender page for public procurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the board made of softwood?
Softwood makes the board easy to use with dissecting pins and scalpel blades. Pins can be pressed in firmly to fix a specimen in position, and the surface takes cuts from a blade during the dissection.
What size is the Wooden Dissecting Board?
It measures 550 x 380 mm, about 21.7 x 15 inches. That is larger than a 300 x 200 mm wax tray and leaves space for several specimens or a full set of labelled parts.
Board or wax tray: which should a lab choose?
A board gives a large flat pinning area for dry specimens and plant material, while a tray with wax holds liquid around the specimen. Many practicals can use either, so the choice depends on the specimens planned.
Who supplies the Wooden Dissecting Board?
Science Lab Supplies is the supplier, dispatching from Ambala, India. Schools, colleges, distributors and tender buyers can request a quotation, and the board can travel in the same consignment as pins and dissecting sets.
