STORAGE AND DISPOSAL:
Our preserved specimens are prepared in the United States.
Enclosed in a bag with a non-toxic holding solution. (Not Formaldehyde).
The
specimens are originally preserved in formaldehyde, then rinsed and
stored in Nebanol. This is a non-toxic storage solution. It is safe to
dispose of the specimens in your normal household/business trash
disposal
1. Fluid in the bag is normal and OK.
2. Store at room temperature in the original sealed bag for 6- 9 months.
3. Do not store with food items!
4. Do not add water to the specimen bag, it will cloud the solution and allow bacteria growth.
5. You can use Isopropyl alcohol if you need a rewetting solution or short term storage solution.
6. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth while handling the specimens.
7. Open the bag when you are prepared to complete the dissection.

If your dissection will take several days, we recommend covering and
sealing the specimen with plastic wrap or a plastic zip-top bag between
sessions to preserve the moisture. (Use 70% Isopropyl Alcohol if needed
to prevent drying out)

Wash any non-disposable items with hot soapy water and dry before
storing.
