Insect and Dissection Pins

Overview

The Insect and Dissection Pins page gives entomology, teaching, and small-specimen dissection teams one selectable family for insect pins and handled dissecting pins. The family includes #00 through #5 insect pins at 4 cm length, supplied as packs of 100, plus a handled dissecting pin with a 0.4 mm sharp stainless tip and 10 cm total length.

The buying value is choosing the pin format around the bench task. Insect pin configurations let the lab select by pin size and diameter from 0.27 mm through 0.71 mm. The handled dissecting pin adds a plastic handle and sharp stainless tip for insect dissection, blood vessel separation, and controlled small-specimen manipulation.

Scientific Use

Use this family for insect specimen preparation, entomology pinning, insect dissection, small-vessel separation, teaching dissection benches, and compact specimen handling stations. Keeping the entomology pins and handled dissecting pins together helps procurement compare the small-diameter pin options without turning each source row into a separate low-context product page.

Pair the selected pin configuration with forceps, scissors, blades, magnification, dissection trays, sterile-field or bench supplies, and sample labeling selected for the workflow. Micro tweezers, fine surgical tweezers, blades, and retractors remain separate pages because they solve adjacent handling and cutting needs.

Buying Fit

Choose this page when the lab needs insect pin packs, a handled dissecting pin, or bench replenishment for small-specimen preparation. Choose broader surgical instrument pages when the purchase should include cutting, grasping, closure, exposure, or animal surgery support tools.
