Carolina’s Perfect Solution ®
Independent, certified laboratory analyses of specimens fixed in Carolina’s Perfect Solution ® have found it to be
nontoxic and free of dangerous off-gassing. This means that, for safety purposes, classrooms and labs using
Carolina’s Perfect Solution specimens do not require specialized ventilation. Carolina does recommend using some
active ventilation when working with any preserved specimens or chemicals. The safe nature of
Carolina’s Perfect
Solution also means that in most localities there are no mandated disposal requirements. Be sure to check with
local sewer and landfill authorities, as local procedures may vary.

Carolina Carosafe TM Preservative
Carosafe™ is a holding solution for biological specimens. It contains no formaldehyde and is not a tissue fixative.
Most specimens in
Carosafe are first preserved with a formalin solution and then placed in formaldehyde-free
Carosafe. This produces a formalin-preserved specimen that, when dissected, minimizes student and educator
exposure to formaldehyde.
Caropak ® Packaging
Preserved animals shipped in Caropaks have been processed with Carosafe and are as “odorless” as effective
fixation and preservation techniques allow. They are packaged in vacuum-sealed, double-layered plastic barrier
bags. Specimens may be packaged one specimen per pack or many per pack.
