Created for the Novare General Biology Dissection Labs. This kit includes all the specimens and dissecting tools needed to complete all the dissections in the Apprentice’s Companion for General Biology. Contents include a dissecting tool case, dissection tools (forceps, dissection pins, ruler, scalpel blades and handle, dissecting scissors, curving teasing needle, straight teasing needle, gloves (6 pr.), dissection pan, and the following specimens: mammal heart, mammal kidney, fetal pig, frog, earthworm, grasshopper, crayfish, clam, perch, and sponge. Note: Specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, known to be 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.
This product can expose you to chemicals including Formaldehyde, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and Methanol, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.Novare General Biology Dissection Kit
