You and your students deserve the very best quality and safest preserved specimens available. Organisms preserved with Carolina's Perfect Solution® retain more life like color and texture. Because students study more natural-looking specimens, it's easier for them to identify the structures and, as a result, learn anatomy. Our commitment to producing the finest preserved specimens on the market has led us to Carolina's Perfect Solution®, a unique, revolutionary fixative that is changing the process of preserving specimens and is dramatically improving the quality of classroom dissection. Carolina's Perfect Solution® specimens are also ideal for homeschool use. The specimens are safe and nontoxic, which means you need no special ventilation and there's no costly disposal.

• Forensic education that really engages students
• Provides a "real world" link

Capitalize on the current popularity of crime scene investigation TV with this unique forensic lab activity. Students conduct a pig dissection by modeling the protocols used by a pathologist for a human autopsy. They carefully record the external features and use a typical "Y" incision to open the body cavity for a detailed examination. Then they remove all of the organ systems. When students complete the forensic dissection, they return the organs to the body cavity and suture the incisions.

A Carolina's Perfect Solution® adult pig heart and pig kidney are also included for comparison with the dissected specimen. A set of 7 prepared slides allows students to extend and enhance the dissection by examining some of the tissue types found within each system.
