How Do They Compare with Other JLab Scissors?
| Model | Length | Material | Other listed details |
|---|---|---|---|
| These scissors (EL-SLE-5556) | 180 mm | Stainless steel | Straight, closed shanks; packs of 10 |

Choose these 180 mm scissors as the shared bench pair for paper, thread, tape and tubing. The shorter dissecting and iris-type scissors are made for fine cuts on specimens and are better kept for biology lab equipment sets, where cutting paper and card would only blunt them.
What Are General Purpose Lab Scissors Used For?
Almost every practical needs something cut. In chemistry, filter paper is trimmed to fit a funnel and cut into strips for paper chromatography; in physics, thread is cut for pendulums and tape for marking distances on a trolley track; in biology, leaves and stems are cut for observation and string for plant supports. Teachers also use a full-size pair to make card and foil models and to cut rubber or plastic tubing to length when setting up apparatus.
Stainless steel resists rust, but wipe the blades dry after cutting anything wet and do not leave them standing in acids or salt solutions. Clean off adhesive tape residue so the blades keep meeting cleanly, and store the scissors closed in a drawer or tool tray.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of packs — the scissors come 10 to a pack; the minimum order is 10 units.
- Tip shape — the listing does not state whether the tips are pointed or blunt; say which you need, especially for younger classes.
- Fine-cutting scissors — if your biology lab also needs dissecting or iris-type scissors, add them to the same enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long are these scissors and what are they made of?
They are 180 mm (about 7 in) long and made of stainless steel, with straight, closed shanks as listed.
How are they packed?
In packs of 10. Quote code EL-SLE-5556 and the number of packs you need in your enquiry.
Are the tips pointed or blunt?
The listing does not say. If you need a particular tip shape, for example blunt tips for younger students, state it in your enquiry and JLab will confirm what can be supplied.
How do they differ from dissecting scissors?
They are longer and meant for general cutting. JLab’s dissecting scissors are about 100 mm long and are listed for cutting specimens and plant material, and the iris-type scissors have fine, straight points for delicate work.
Can they be used to cut wet material?
Yes. Stainless steel resists rust, so wet filter paper, leaves or tubing are not a problem, but rinse and dry the blades afterwards and keep them away from standing acids and salt solutions.
Who manufactures these scissors?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes them at its works in Ambala, Haryana, and quotes for them directly as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
Behind the JLab name is Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of school and college lab equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and located on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana.

It is registered under CIN U29309HR2017PTC069123 and holds MSME Udyam registration UDYAM-HR-01-0003849 (manufacturing enterprise).
