Stainless Steel Laboratory Scissors

General-purpose scissors fabricated in stainless steel. Resistant to corrosion from common laboratory reagents and disinfectants. Suitable for cutting filter paper, Parafilm, silicone tubing and technical packaging materials.

Specifications

• Material: Stainless steel
• Blade: Straight, general-purpose cutting edge
• Sterilisation: Not autoclavable
• Handedness: Right- and left-handed use

Applications

General laboratory bench use across biology, chemistry and sample preparation workflows. Suited for cutting filter paper, membranes, sealing film, flexible tubing and packaging materials. Also used in histopathology and clinical nursing environments for cutting bandages and dressings.

Cleaning and Sterilisation

Compatible with ethanol wipedown, standard disinfectant solutions and laboratory dishwashers. Do not autoclave — pressurised steam can affect blade temper and damage the rivets. Where sterilisation is required by protocol, use alternative methods such as chemical disinfection or UV irradiation.

Usage Note

A standard bench tool. Stainless steel withstands the laboratory environment without rusting — unlike hardware-grade scissors. Dry thoroughly after cleaning to preserve blade edge life.
