Quick answer: A Dissecting Board is a flat, wax-lined work surface used as the base for pinning and cutting specimens during biology dissection practicals. Dissecting Board is priced at approximately ₹350 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
The Dissecting Board serves as the primary work surface for school and college dissection exercises, providing a stable, chemical-resistant base on which a specimen can be laid out, pinned, and worked on with dissection instruments. Boards are typically constructed from wood or moulded plastic/thermocol with a wax or paraffin top layer that accepts pins cleanly and can be re-pinned repeatedly without splitting. A flat, rigid board reduces specimen movement during cutting, helping students achieve cleaner, more controlled dissections and reducing accidental instrument slips. Dissecting Boards are commonly used alongside Dissecting Dishes, trays and instrument sets as part of a complete classroom or laboratory dissection kit.

Applications
- Base work surface for pinning and dissecting specimens (frog, earthworm, cockroach, fish and similar) in classroom practicals
- Comparative anatomy and life-science demonstrations in secondary school and undergraduate biology courses
- Stable platform for sketching, labelling and photographing dissected specimens during a lab session
- General biology lab surface for specimen handling as part of a structured dissection kit
Care & Maintenance
- Wipe down after each session to remove tissue debris and preservative residue before storage
- Avoid soaking wood-based boards for extended periods, which can warp or loosen the wax lining
- Store flat in a dry area to keep the board from bowing and to protect the pinning surface

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Dissecting Board used for?
It is the flat base surface on which a specimen is placed and pinned down during a biology dissection exercise, giving students a stable platform to work on with dissection instruments.
Is the board reusable across multiple classes?
Yes. With routine wiping and dry storage between sessions, a Dissecting Board is designed for repeated classroom use across a full academic term or year.
What is the board’s surface made of?
Most Dissecting Boards use a wood or moulded plastic base topped with a wax or paraffin layer that holds dissection pins securely and can be re-pinned many times.
Does STEMAids supply Dissecting Boards as part of a dissection kit?
STEMAids offers Dissecting Boards individually and as part of broader dissection equipment ranges alongside dishes, trays and instrument sets — contact STEMAids to confirm current set options and institutional/bulk pricing.
Are exact board dimensions available for tender specification?
Exact dimensions have not been independently verified for this listing. Institutions preparing tender documents should confirm precise size and material specifications directly with STEMAids before finalising procurement paperwork.
Is STEMAids a registered manufacturer of this product?
