Section Lifter
Product Code : LSK-DAS-10913
Section Lifter (SKU LSK-DAS-10913) is a 100 mm single-ended stainless steel instrument with a bent-up blade, used to pick up thin sections and small specimens and move them without tearing. It can carry freshly cut plant or animal sections from a watch glass or dish to a microscope slide in school biology, B.Sc. botany and zoology, and histology training labs. Enquiries for it are handled by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, for institutions and resellers alike.
Specifications
For the 100 mm section lifter, the full set of details sits in the table below. Put simply, it is a single-ended stainless steel tool whose blade is bent upwards, giving a flat, angled surface that slides under a delicate section and keeps it supported during transfer.

Applications and Experiments for the Section Lifter
The section lifter transfers material that is too thin or fragile to grip with forceps. Its bent-up blade slides beneath a floating section, lifts it out of water or stain and lays it flat on a slide, which helps students produce clean temporary mounts in microscopy practicals.
- Class 11–12 biology (NCERT): moving transverse sections of stems and roots, cut by hand or on a Microtome, from water to a slide for staining.
- B.Sc. botany anatomy practicals: shifting sections between stain, wash and mounting medium, then covering them with a Cover Glass Slide.
- Zoology and histology training: handling thin tissue pieces and small whole mounts.
- Organising finished mounts for later study in a Wooden Microscope Slide Box.
Standard Scope of Supply
The section lifter is supplied as a single 100 mm stainless steel instrument with its bent-up blade at one end. A razor, dishes, slides and cover glasses for a full section-cutting practical can be added to the same quotation, so the order arrives ready for microscopy work.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Pricing can be prepared for a single lifter or for a quantity that equips every microscope bench in a laboratory. The quotation from Science Lab Supplies lists the packing, delivery time and price for that number, and other dissecting tools or biology lab equipment in India can share it.
Registered with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is in a position to ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE. Requests for section lifters reach the team through the contact page or the enquiry cart; tender documents belong on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a section lifter used for?
It lifts thin sections of plant or animal tissue and other delicate specimens, for example out of water or stain, and lays them flat on a microscope slide without folding or tearing them.
Why is the blade bent upwards?
The bent-up blade gives an angled, flat surface that slides under a section lying in liquid or on glass, supporting the whole piece as it is lifted, which a pair of forceps cannot do.
Who supplies the Section Lifter?
The stainless steel section lifter is offered by Science Lab Supplies of Ambala, India. Its team prepares quotations for schools, universities, tender contractors and distributors, and can place the lifter on the same order as slides and stains.
Is the lifter single or double ended?
It is single ended: the 100 mm stainless steel body carries the bent-up blade at one end only, with the other end serving as the grip.
