Rats are popular dissection specimens for exploring mammalian anatomy. These fully developed animals display mature organs and organ systems for students to examine skeletal, muscular, and reproductive structures. The rat body plan allows for close comparison to human anatomy, rats are convenient to dissect with little fluid in the body cavity, and they are economical. Rats preserved in Carolina's Perfect Solution® have a superior, more natural-looking appearance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value for the price! I prefer to have my Biology 1 students dissect the Perfect Solution rats, as they are a less expensive alternative to the fetal pigs. The organs in the rats are well preserved, retaining their natural color and shape as opposed to some of the fetal pigs. I highly recommend these as dissection specimens on a budget.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great organ visibility The internal organs of the rat were very much intact and easily visible and distinguishable from each other.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a difference! I wear two hats at our local community college: lab manager and adjunct instructor for anatomy and physiology labs. Knowing the importance of inventory control, I use the older products before opening new merchandise. As I was overseeing a rat lab, I found myself one rat short and grabbed the next available specimen, which happened to be the Perfect Solution rat from Carolina. I had read the literature, but had not seen the actual product until that morning. As I incised the rat, I was immediately drawn to the realistic colors and uniformity of organs. I thought maybe I was persuaded because of the literature, so I compared the Perfect Solutions rat to the other rats being dissected. There simply was no comparison. The Perfect Solutions rat was, quite bluntly, beautiful. I will continue ordering these stunning specimens from Carolina, and recommend these rats to my colleagues and anyone else willing to listen!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from dissection specimens of high quality The perfect solution rats were in very good shape and the injection made vasculature and cardiac chambers easy to identify.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This product is an excellent value. I teach anatomy and physiology and use these rats for standard dissection. They are easy for my high school students to manipulate, the odor is almost non-existent, the chance of getting a pregnant female is high in a grouping of seven to ten, and the double injected circulatory system is a bonus for teaching.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for High School! These rats are in a chemical that doesn't smell very much (kids said it smells like expo marker or sharpie) and they hold up really well over the 3 days we dissect. The one thing I was disappointing in this time was that most of the rats were female - we ordered 60 and only had 4 males. Usually we have a good mix of males and females but not this time which is pretty disappointing for the kids who want to see the male rats.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Solution Rats Great Preserved Specimens. Internal organs were well preserved and color was terrific. Pregnant Rat was one of the best specimens I have ever purchased for an Anatomy class.
