No need to compromise
What if you could provide your students with a higher quality preserved specimen and an enhanced dissection experience while at the same time improving the safety of your learning environment? Does this sound too good to be true? We have developed a preservation formula that produces superior specimens without compromising classroom or lab safety. Carolina’s Perfect Solution® addresses the need for an alternative to traditional formaldehyde-preserved specimens.
You and your students deserve and we want you to have the very best and safest preserved specimens available. Our unique preservation method provides slow firming action that results in more life-like tissues and organs with natural vivid colors and texture. Teachers and students that have worked with Carolina’s Perfect Solution® specimens in the past have consistently been impressed with what they have seen and experienced.
Independent, certified laboratory analysis of specimens fixed in Carolina’s Perfect Solution® have found them to be nontoxic and free of dangerous off-gassing. Classrooms and labs using Carolina’s Perfect Solution® specimens do not require specialized ventilation. However, some active ventilation is recommended when working with any preserved specimens or chemicals. The safe nature of Carolina’s Perfect Solution® also means that in most localities there are no mandated disposal requirements. Be sure to check with local sewer and landfill authorities, as procedures may vary.
Compare and see for yourself
To illustrate the effectiveness of Carolina’s Perfect Solution® in providing high-quality specimens, we have compared it to some formaldehyde-free alternatives. The external differences are evident, but the more striking differences appear internally after closer examination of the tissues and organs.
Which Specimen Looks More Natural to You?
Carolina’s Perfect Solution® Specimen
- Lifelike, natural external appearance
- Amazing color and texture
- Easy to identify tissues, organs, and systems
Competitor’s Specimen
- Dark, unnatural external appearance
- Difficult to identify tissues, organs, and systems
- Dry, discolored tissue
Which Bullfrog Would You Rather Dissect?
Carolina’s Perfect Solution® Specimen
- Vivid colors allow for easy identification of internal tissues, organs, and systems
- Expertly injected to facilitate studies of the circulatory system
- Tissues are pliable and easy to dissect
Competitor’s Specimen
- Injection spread out in body cavity, making it more difficult to identify structures
- Lack of contrasting colors to aid in identifying tissues, organs, and systems
- Tissues are dry and brittle
The Obvious Choice for Quality
Carolina’s Perfect Solution® Specimen
- Lifelike tissue texture and color
- Superior fixation designed for extended classroom use
- Pliable easy to dissect
Competitor’s Specimen
- Dark, unnatural appearance
- Poor preservation resulting in breakdown of internal tissues
- Dry tissue hard to dissect
Compare and See for Yourself
Carolina’s Perfect Solution® Specimen
- High-quality preservation allows for in-depth study of musculature
- Easy to identify tissues, organs, and systems
- Superior tissue color, texture, and quality
Competitor’s Specimen
- Dark, dry tissues make it difficult to identify muscle tissue
- Difficult to identify tissues, organs, and systems
- Unacceptable tissue color, texture and quality
Confused by all the claims?
Other preserved specimens are claimed to be formaldehyde-free, but only Carolina’s Perfect Solution® specimens:
- Do not attempt to mask a formaldehyde scent with other chemicals
- Are not fixed initially with formalin and then perfused with another formalin-free alternative
- Do not use other potentially harmful chemicals such as glutaraldehyde in the fixing process

How do you dispose of the perfect solution after using the all specimens it came with?
Below is a great article that outlines the steps to disposal of your specimens, and preservative solution.

As most schools/towns have their own specific regulations to disposals, after reading the article above, it is always best to reach out to your supervisor in regards to disposal as well.
