PLASTIC DISSECTING TRAY WITHOUT WAX

 Product Description
The Plastic Dissecting Tray without Wax is a laboratory instrument used to hold specimens during dissection procedures in biology, zoology, anatomy, and educational labs. Unlike traditional dissecting trays that include a wax layer for pinning specimens, this tray offers a reusable, wax-free surface, typically designed to accommodate separate pinning pads or mats (e.g., rubber or foam inserts). It is made from high-grade, chemical-resistant plastic such as polypropylene or ABS, offering a lightweight, durable, and easy-to-clean platform. The tray typically features raised sides to contain fluids and provide a controlled workspace during dissection.

Uses
Primary Uses
Educational and Biological Laboratory Applications

• Holding and containing specimens during dissection in biology classes.
• Used for anatomical studies of plants, invertebrates, and vertebrate organisms.
• Facilitates the observation and identification of internal structures.
• Compatible with reusable pinning pads or silicone bases (not included).
• Keeps the work area clean and confined by containing fluids and tissue.

Secondary Uses
Research and Demonstration Settings

• Used in veterinary or pre-medical training for anatomical demonstration.
• Supporting small-scale specimen preparation in pathology or forensic studies.
• Suitable for dissection tool layout and organization during procedures.
• May serve as a tray for temporary sample storage in histology labs.

Key Attributes
Basic Identification Attributes

• Material: Polypropylene, ABS plastic, or other chemical-resistant polymers.
• Design: Flat bottom with raised edges; smooth inner surface.
• Sizes: Common dimensions include 11"×7", 14"×10", etc.
