DESCRIPTION

Dissecting a fetal pig is one of the best hands-on ways to learn about mammal anatomy. This affordable fetal pig dissection kit comes with all the tools you'll need:

a preserved double-injected, 7-10" fetal pig

photographic dissection guide

#22 scalpel

dissecting scissors

teasing needle

dissection pins

& a dissecting tray.

The 8-page dissection guide provides step-by-step instructions and includes a checklist for locating 23 major anatomical organs and structure during dissection. The 7-10" fetal pig is double injected to easily differentiate arteries (red latex injected) and veins (blue latex injected).

Home Science Tools recommends using disposable gloves for all dissections.

Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume specimen which will not decay over time.

HST Specimen Guarantee

In sealed, original packaging, our preserved specimens are guaranteed to remain fully preserved and free of decay for six months from the date of purchase.

Once the original package is opened, use specimen within one month. For best results, observe the following storage procedures:

Store specimen in heavy-duty, zip-lock bags to minimize drying between dissections.

Specimen will slowly dry out or become contaminated in zip-lock bags; add a teaspoon of Specimen Holding Fluid to retain moisture.

Freezing or refrigeration is not necessary and may damage fragile tissues.
