Rat Specimen – Frozen, Large (250–350g) for Educational Dissection [80044]

The Frozen Rat Specimen [80044] is a large, high‑quality specimen supplied specifically for educational biology dissection in schools and colleges. Each specimen weighs approximately 250–350g, making it well suited for clear anatomical identification during supervised class practicals.

These specimens are processed and prepared in accordance with the same standards used for food produced for human consumption. Once prepared, they are vacuum sealed and frozen to preserve tissue quality and hygiene during storage and transport. On receipt, specimens must be fully defrosted prior to use and handled following standard laboratory hygiene procedures.

For added flexibility in lesson planning, the specimens may be re‑frozen after defrosting for use at a later date (recommended use within 2 years). Alternatively, they can be kept refrigerated for short‑term use if required imminently (up to 2 days). This makes them ideal for both single lessons and extended teaching schedules.
