Dissecting Pan, 12in x 10in x 2in Tray

Dissecting Tray Function: Dissecting Pan, 12 x 10 x 2in Tray

Dissecting trays are the unsung heroes of any lab or classroom. They're the foundation for precise and controlled dissections. A shallow tray that holds and supports biological specimens during dissection, these trays are made from materials like stainless steel, plastic or glass. (Stainless steel is a popular choice for its durability.)

In biology, medicine and veterinary forensic science, these trays are used to maintain the integrity and stability of specimens during the dissection process and examination. They work hand-in-hand with other dissecting tools like scalpels and forceps. By providing a solid base, these trays allow you to study and analyze specimens in detail. They're designed to accommodate typical specimens, so they remain stable and secure during examination and experimentation.

That's where our Dissecting Tray comes in. Available in 12" x 10" x 2" dimensions, it's perfect for labs and classrooms. One of its best features is its durability. Made from stainless steel with a metal bottom, it can withstand repeated use and is resistant to corrosion and wear and tear.

We also add a layer of white wax to the tray for a smooth surface to dissect on. This wax layer prevents specimens from slipping or sliding during dissection and keeps the tray clean and hygienic. That's a big plus in a busy lab.

We offer four sizes to choose from, so you can find the right one for your needs. Whether you're studying biology, anatomy or zoology, this tray is a must-have to explore, examine and analyze specimens.

Our Dissecting Tray is a great investment for any lab or classroom. It's sturdy, reliable and versatile. That means it will give you many years of service and help students achieve their educational goals. Plus, choosing a durable and reusable tray like this one over disposable ones can save you a substantial amount of money in the long run.

A dissection pan is an essential tool in educational settings, especially in biology and anatomy labs. Our dissection pan is made from durable aluminum and is a solid base for dissecting and examining biological specimens. It's designed to accommodate typical specimens securely. The surface of the pan is coated with wax for a smooth surface to dissect on. This wax holds specimens in place for a precise and controlled dissection.

When ordering, please provide your complete shipping address. This ensures we meet all documentation requirements and can deliver smoothly.

Our dissecting pans are crafted from heavy-gauge aluminum or stainless steel. They're built to last, even with repeated use. We offer various dimensions to accommodate different sizes of biological specimens. The surface of the pan is coated with paraffin wax, providing a smooth, non-slip surface that makes pinning and securing specimens easy and precise.

Additional features include smooth edges for safe handling and a stable platform for dissecting and examining biological specimens. You can also add odor-absorbing pads, lining waxes, and corflute inserts to enhance functionality and ease of cleaning. That makes these pans a reliable choice for any dissection process.

The material composition of our dissecting pans and trays is key to their durability and functionality. We use heavy-gauge aluminum for a solid and corrosion-resistant base. Aluminum is also lightweight, making it easy to handle and transport. That's a big plus in a busy lab.

The distinctive feature of many pans and trays for dissecting is the wax coating—a mix of black tar and white wax. This coating provides a smooth and flexible surface for precise pinning and securing of specimens during dissection. The wax layer prevents specimens from slipping and keeps the workspace clean and hygienic for accurate and efficient dissection.

When resurfacing a durable tray for dissecting, heat the wax on a hot plate to melt it. Don't exceed 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Be careful not to damage the pan or tray. Cleaning by hand with soap and water will maintain its integrity.

The aluminum and wax combination in our pans and trays make them a durable and functional tool for educational settings. That's why they're a must-have for students and researchers who want to study biological specimens with precision.

Dissecting pans are where science meets precision. They're durable trays that can withstand heavy use. Made from robust aluminum, they're built to last. (And so are your specimens, thanks to the wax-coated surface.) That surface is designed for easy pinning and securing of specimens during dissection. The wax prevents specimens from slipping, so students and researchers can work with real precision.

Key Benefits

Dissecting pans give you a stable, secure platform for dissecting and examining biological specimens. That means your specimens stay put, without slipping or moving around. The wax-coated surface is durable and long-lasting, and requires minimal maintenance. That's a practical choice for busy lab settings. Easy to clean and maintain, these pans feature a non-slip surface that ensures safe and controlled dissection procedures. They're versatile enough to accommodate typical specimens as well as larger ones. That adaptability makes them an essential tool for various dissection procedures—educational studies, scientific research and everything in between.

Dissecting Pans for Labs

Dissecting pans are used in biology, medicine and surgery. They're designed to accommodate typical specimens, securely holding various biological and dissection samples during examination and experimentation. In education, biology labs just can't do without them to teach students how to dissect and study biological specimens. Medical education uses them to train students to perform surgical procedures. Beyond education, these pans are useful in scientific research where they're used to study biological specimens and tissues. Their design and functionality—dissecting pins included—make them perfect for precise cutting and examination.

Scientific Applications and Uses

Dissecting trays are indispensable in scientific and educational settings. Anatomical studies use them to explore the internal structures and features of organisms. That hands-on learning experience is invaluable. Physiological investigations use these trays to examine biological specimens and tissues with precision. Comparative anatomy research relies on them to compare internal structures and features across different organisms. Biology and anatomy labs rely on these trays to give students practical experience with dissection procedures. In lab settings, they're used in scientific research to examine biological specimens and tissues with precision.

Dissecting Pans Maintenance and Cleaning

To keep your durable tray in good condition, maintenance and cleaning are a must. Here's how to do it right:

Wash the pan with soap and water after each use. Remove any residue or debris. Use a soft-bristled brush to scrub away stubborn stains. Rinse with distilled water to prevent mineral deposits. Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. For more thorough cleaning, soak the pan in a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar for several hours. Don't use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. That will damage the surface.

Dissecting Pans Maintenance and Cleaning

Maintenance and cleaning of a durable tray is key to its longevity and performance. Don't put it in the dishwasher or microwave. When resurfacing the pan, heat the wax to the right temperature (no higher than 250 degrees F). Clean the pan with soap and water, and reapply wax as needed to keep the surface smooth. Store the pan in a dry place to prevent damage to the wax.

Dissecting Pans vs Trays: Comparison

Dissecting pans and trays are both used in education to study biological specimens. But they have some key differences. Dissecting pans are made of aluminum with a wax-coated surface. They accommodate typical specimens for precise cutting—and smaller specimens. Trays are made of plastic insert or stainless steel, may not have wax coating. They're for larger specimens like dead organisms and general dissection processes that provide support. Knowing the differences will help you choose the right tool for your needs.

Dissecting Pans and Dissection Pan Options

Dissecting pans come in different sizes and materials to fit your needs and applications. Here are some of the options available to you.

When choosing the right pan for dissection, you'll want to consider the type of work you do. Stainless steel pans are durable and easy to clean—perfect for heavy-duty use in labs and medical settings. Plastic pans are lightweight and inexpensive, making them ideal for education and small-scale dissections. Glass pans are non-reactive and offer great visibility, which is why they're often used for delicate dissections and applications where chemical resistance is key.

Of course, each of these types of pans has its own benefits. So what matters is choosing the right one for your needs—and your dissection. To do that, you'll want to compare product details. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a pan for dissection:

Size: You want a pan that can hold your specimen comfortably without being unwieldy.

Material: Think about the durability, corrosion resistance and chemical resistance of the material. You want a pan that can withstand what you're asking of it.

Depth: Choose a pan that lets you access your specimen easily without compromising stability.

Handles: Look for a pan with comfortable, ergonomic handles that make lifting and moving it a breeze.

Comparing those product details will help you find the right pan for your needs. (And if you're looking for a large quantity, we can help with that too.)
