Product Details
Preserved cats are popular dissection specimens for anatomy and physiology labs. Their large size and extended anatomical position allow students to easily examine all mammalian organ systems. In addition, using specimens with the skin removed allows students to begin their study and dissection of the muscular system immediately which saves valuable lab time. These specimens are ideal for upper-level students because they allow:

• Effective use of essential lab time
• In-depth study of the mammalian muscular system
• Detailed examination of the circulatory, reproductive, and nervous systems
• Removal of individual organs for dissection
• Long-term use with proper handling and storage

Product Features

• No color injection—popular for general anatomical studies
• Skin removed for easy examination of muscular system
• Soaked in Carosafe®, then individually packed and shipped in a vacuum-sealed bag for easy distribution

• Prices listed are for 1 specimen

Carosafe®
Carosafe® preservative and holding solution for biological specimens contains no formaldehyde and is not a tissue fixative. Most Carosafe® specimens were first preserved with a formalin solution and then washed before placement in Carosafe®. Specimens are held in Carosafe® prior to shipment, producing formalin-preserved specimens that, when dissected, minimize formaldehyde exposure. Learn More.
