Carolina Wetting Solution
Carolina’s Wetting Solution® is a proprietary fluid that inhibits mold growth, maintains moisture, and keeps tissues pliable and easy to manipulate on preserved specimens.
1) What is Carolina’s Wetting Solution®?
Carolina’s Wetting Solution® is a proprietary fluid that inhibits mold growth, maintains moisture, and keeps tissues pliable and easy to manipulate on preserved specimens.
2) How do I use Carolina’s Wetting Solution®?
Spray generously directly on preserved specimens after exposure to air, prior to storage. If the dissection runs several hours, you can spray the specimen periodically to keep the tissues moist and pliable.
3) When do I apply Carolina’s Wetting Solution®?
Apply directly after each dissection lab, prior to storage, and during long dissection sessions.
4) Does the specimen need to be sprayed daily if not worked on daily?
Not if specimens are stored correctly (at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, sealed with minimal air). However, we do suggest inspecting the specimens frequently. If you notice any drying, remove the specimens and spray liberally.
5) How long will Carolina’s Wetting Solution® keep preserved specimens pliable and inhibit mold growth?
If there is no environmental exposure to mold and the specimen is stored properly, the solution should last several days to weeks between dissection labs.
6) What is the difference between a wetting solution and holding fluid?
Holding fluids are for completely submerging preserved specimens for long-term storage. Wetting solutions are not for this purpose, only for short-term handling or display of specimens.
7) How do I store Carolina’s Wetting Solution®?
It can be stored directly on a shelf. No refrigeration or special storage is required.
