Clamworm (Nereis) is preserved in formalin and shipped in Carosafe®
Carosafe®
Carosafe® preservative and holding solution for biological specimens contains no formaldehyde and is not a tissue fixative. Most Carosafe® specimens were first preserved with a formalin solution and then washed before placement in Carosafe®. Specimens are held in Carosafe® prior to shipment, producing formalin-preserved specimens that, when dissected, minimise formaldehyde exposure.
Qty: 1 Clamworm (Nereis)
Notes:
- Carosafe® specimens should be washed before use and dissected in well ventilated rooms with appropriate hand, eye and body protection.
- Specimens for display may be submersed in 70% Ethanol.
- These specimens do not require refrigeration.
- For best results, carefully unpack your delivery of preserved specimens as soon as it arrives.
- Store the specimens in the dark in a single layer on a flat surface.
- A drawer or cupboard shelf is ideal.
- Do not refrigerate.
- Avoid stacking the specimens on top of each other or otherwise putting weight on them.
- Undue pressure can cause breakages in brittle specimens such as crayfish and grasshoppers, and can cause deformation of soft-tissue specimens such as brains and kidneys.
