Top-Selling Models by Body System
Anatomy and physiology courses benefit greatly from the use anatomical models and skeletons. Quality models show detailed morphology of organs and complete body systems. Models simplify the identification of anatomical structures, organ positioning within the body cavity, and the relationship between structure and function. Many models can be disassembled, allowing students to explore internal structures. Additionally, they are an excellent reference tool for identifying small and indistinct structures.

Developing and Analyzing Urine Samples as a Model of Kidney Function
Abnormal urine composition often indicates disease or infection. Diabetes is often diagnosed after a patient has a positive test for glucose in the urine. Diabetes is the result of an inability to absorb glucose from the blood. The body compensates for these elevated blood glucose levels by filtering the glucose out through the kidneys; the excess glucose exits the body through the urine.
Carolina’s Perfect Solution® Specimen Comparison
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 […]
Using Histology Slides to Enhance Mammalian Dissection
There are 4 main types of tissue: epithelial, muscle, nervous, and connective. Each type has a particular function and can be found to some degree in most organs. In order to understand the structure and function of each type of tissue, it is important to view them microscopically. Many tissues viewed with the naked eye […]
Synthetic Blood
Carolina® Synthetic Blood has several advantages over other suppliers’ products, which usually depend on chemical reactions producing insoluble salts that precipitate from solutions. These products do not give visually realistic results. In actual blood typing, red blood cells form clumps (the agglutination reaction) that separate from the blood plasma. When mixed the appropriate synthetic antiserum, Carolina® Synthetic Blood forms clumps in the same way, for a realistic blood typing result. It’s the closest to authentic blood typing that you can get without using real blood.
