Biological Specimens - Fresh Frozen

a

FRESH FROZEN SPECIMENS A selection of fresh frozen biological specimens, suitable for dissection purposes in biology. These specimens are frozen immediately after removal, ensuring they are still fresh when frozen. Specimens will be packed within insulated packaging material, but may arrive partially defrosted. This will not affect their use in dissection and they can be re-frozen. Carefully selected and removed by skilled butchers to ensure appropriate structures remain intact Cat No. Description Price Per 1 BLO-300-100 Frozen Mammal Eyes 12.50 5pk 2 BLO-300-150 Frozen Mammal Heart 3.50 ea. 3 BLO-300-200 Frozen Mammal Kidney 3.00 ea. 4 BLO-300-250 Frozen Mammal Lungs with Trachea & Larynx 5.50 ea. 5 BLO-300-300 Frozen Fish Head (Large Salmon) 4.50 ea.

Biological Specimens - Protozoa (Live)

k

PROTOZOA - LIVE The following protist cultures are selected for their appeal in teaching protistology in schools, colleges and universities. Many species are particularly amenable for use in student projects for studying feeding, reproduction, motility organelles, nuclear apparatus and encystment. All supplied in 30ml cultures, (sufficient for up to 30 students), except the jar of mixed protozoa which offers a great selection of common protozoa suitable for a range of experiments. Amoeba Proteus (30ml) - A very large and vigorous strain which displays protoplasmic streaming (cyclosis), prey encapsulation and phagocytosis. An excellent textbook species for demonstrating pseudopodia and amoebae morphology. Euglina Gracilis (30ml) - Typical green phytoflagellate for illustrating flagellate motility and photoautotrophic nutrition. The distinct eyespot (stigma) stimulates the cells phototactic response towards moderate light intensity. Euglina Spirogira (30ml) - A larger species for showing ‘textbook’ euglenoid morphology Paramecium Caudatum (30ml) - The ‘slipper animalcule’ named after the resemblance of its pellicle to the shape of a slipper. Probably the most popular textbook species for illustrating ciliate morphology and behavioural traits. Although the organism is highly motile our cultures often contain sufficiently dense populations for continual observation under the microscope. Mixed Protozoa (50ml) - A jar of mixed curricula protozoa, including Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, Stentor, Blepharisma, Vorticella and Euplotes, etc. The culture provides a visually exciting introduction to the diversity of the ciliates, flagellates and amoebae.

Paramecium Caudatum *Live Specimen Delivery All live specimens must be sent by next day courie r to ensure they arrive alive. Consequently a £6.50 delivery charge is applicable. No despatches will take place on a Friday for a Monday delivery as we cannot be confident they will survive the weekend. Please specify when you would like the specimen(s) to arrive and we will do our best to ensure they arrive in time.
