Product Timelines 12/12/2022
Hey all! One of our core values is to be fully transparent to our community. In an effort to do that, we’re going to be releasing monthly blog posts where we show the progress of each of our products. Some changes from last month, we are trying our best to make sure everything we make is of a high quality, and with that does take some time.
In-Stock Products:
- Swiss Style Forceps – Working on featherweights next.
- Ecology Supplies Pins
Our first batch of insect pins are now in stock, we do have a lot of inventory stuck in customs.
- Cornell Units Trays
Our first batch of unit trays is here! We opted for an impressively sturdy design, with an option of EPE and EVA foams. We’re getting plastazote foam boxes in the near future (February or March).
- Metal Pinning Block
We also made our first limited supply batch of Metal pinning blocks! Beautifully crafted with rounded edges and anti-slide felt on the bottom. The perfect addition to any serious collectors arsenal that will last a lifetime!

Have you looked into offering the cardboard Schmidt boxes that BioQuip used to carry (and had branded with their logo)? I would think the manufacturer of these would be happy to keep supplying them and I know there are plenty of scientists that would love them to be resurrected.

Hi Ellison,
Thanks for the comment!
Yes, we are looking into the cardboard Schmidt boxes, especially after several suggestions from folks encouraging us to look into them, just like this!
We will provide more details about the boxes in upcoming blog posts and newsletters, so keep a look out!

Yes, those assemble-it-yourself cardboard pinning boxes are an incredibly useful item. We have been going through about 20 per year for just one of the many USDA AgDiscovery camps for high schoolers.

Hi Jason,
That is good to know!
The more we hear from folks like yourself, the better we can provide products that are helpful!
We will release updates about the cardboard Schmidt boxes in future blog posts and newsletters so stay tuned!
