Roundfin RD-200

Histology laboratories and biomedical research facilities are the primary setting for the Roundfin RD-200 Dissecting Table Dip Tank. Long-term fixative immersion is a core requirement in which tissue samples must remain chemically stable over weeks or months. The 2070 × 700 × 450 mm internal chamber accommodates full-size adult cadavers, and the perforated drain tray keeps specimens elevated while allowing fixative to circulate freely. Medigear.uk supplies the RD-200 to research institutions and can provide CE and ISO documentation for procurement and ethics committee review.

Medical college anatomy departments are the most active market for a dip tank of this specification. Anatomy programmes require cadavers to remain in fixative between sessions and across academic terms, with the ability to raise specimens to a working height when classes resume. The 310 mm hand-crank elevation brings cadavers to a dissection height without manual lifting, reducing cumulative musculoskeletal risk across a full teaching year. Medigear.uk can discuss multi-unit orders for departments that are scaling up cadaver storage capacity.

Mortuary facilities using fixative immersion as an alternative to refrigerated storage will find the RD-200 practical and space-efficient. The bi-fold cover lids open to both sides, allowing two operators to access the tank simultaneously, and the braked wheel base allows repositioning when unloaded. T304 stainless steel withstands repeated application of strong chemical disinfectants on all surfaces. Medigear.uk can advise on safe installation and floor-load requirements for mortuary settings.

Independent anatomy training providers and specialist distributors seeking a certified fixative dip tank will find the RD-200 available through Medigear.uk with full procurement support. The confirmed 200 kg-plus capacity suits a wide range of cadaver sizes, and ODM/OEM availability supports customised supply for distributors serving medical college markets. Medigear.uk provides guidance and post-purchase support across all order channels.

Full T304 Stainless Steel Construction for Fixative Chemical Resistance

The entire RD-200 — tank body, tray, lid panels, frame, and all contact surfaces — is fabricated from T304 stainless steel, providing consistent resistance to the chemical action of formalin, glutaraldehyde, and other fixative solutions used in histology and anatomy preservation. There are no coated, painted, or composite sections that could degrade under prolonged immersion conditions or surface contact with fixative reagents. This uniformity of material means the same cleaning and decontamination protocol applies across the entire unit. Medigear.uk holds the material specification sheet on file.

310 mm Hand-Crank Elevation Eliminates Manual Cadaver Lifting

The ergonomically positioned hand crank raises the perforated tray and cadaver by up to 310 mm, bringing the preserved specimen from the fully immersed position to a practical anatomy or histology working height without requiring staff to lift the cadaver from the fixative manually. This mechanical elevation significantly reduces the physical demand on anatomy and mortuary staff during specimen retrieval — a meaningful benefit in facilities where cadavers are raised and lowered repeatedly across an academic year or an active research schedule. Medigear.uk can confirm the crank torque and mechanical specification on request.

Perforated Drain Tray Maintains Immersion and Reduces Fixative Loss

The drain tray's perforations serve a dual function. During storage, holes allow the fixative solution to circulate freely through the tray base and around the cadaver, ensuring uniform chemical fixation across all body surfaces. During elevation, the same holes allow fixative to drain back into the tank rather than being carried up with the tray, which minimises reagent loss, prevents fixative accumulation on the tray rim, and reduces the risk of operator contact with fixative during specimen retrieval. The tray is removable for independent cleaning, which simplifies decontamination between cadavers.

Bi-Fold Cover Lids Opening to Both Sides

The cover lids on the RD-200 open independently to the left and right of the tank, allowing two operators to access the full internal width simultaneously from opposite flanks. This design is particularly practical during cadaver loading and retrieval procedures that benefit from two-person assistance, and it avoids the need to lean across a fully open tank to reach the far side of the chamber. In the closed position, the lids contain fixative vapour and protect the preserved cadaver during the storage phase between uses.

Confirmed 200 kg-Plus Load Capacity

The hand-crank elevation system and overall tank structure are confirmed to have a load capacity exceeding 200 kg, covering the full range of adult cadaver weights typically encountered in anatomy and histology programmes. This rating applies under standard operating conditions with the tray in the loaded and elevated position. Institutional buyers should confirm specific load requirements with the Medigear.uk procurement team if they anticipate cadavers at the upper end of or beyond this range.

CE and ISO Certification for Institutional Procurement

Both CE and ISO certifications are confirmed for the RD-200, covering product safety and quality management standards applicable to laboratory and medical equipment used in cadaver preservation and anatomy practice. These certifications satisfy the baseline conformity requirements in NHS procurement frameworks and institutional laboratory purchasing processes. Medigear.uk holds full documentation on file and can provide it to procurement officers and ethics committees immediately on request.

Four Braked Wheels for Controlled Repositioning

Four wheels with individual foot-operated brake mechanisms are fitted to the base of the RD-200, allowing the tank to be locked securely during use and released for repositioning within a laboratory or preparation room when unloaded. Each wheel brakes independently, providing stable four-point locking that prevents unintended movement during cadaver elevation or fixative filling. Medigear.uk can confirm wheel load ratings and floor surface compatibility ahead of installation.

OEM and ODM Availability for Distributors

Both OEM and ODM supply arrangements have been confirmed for the RD-200, making it a practical cadaver dip tank platform for medical equipment distributors supplying anatomy and histology institutions within their product ranges. Customisation options — including dimensional variations, material specifications, or labelling requirements — can be discussed with the Medigear.uk procurement team. We can also negotiate bulk order pricing and extended supply agreements through Medigear.uk for distributors with ongoing volume requirements.

Large Internal Chamber for Full Adult Cadaver Immersion

The 2070 × 700 × 450 mm internal chamber is sized to fully submerge a standard full-size adult cadaver, with lateral and depth clearance to ensure fixative reaches all body surfaces. The internal height of 450 mm provides sufficient depth to maintain complete submersion throughout the storage cycle, which is a critical condition for effective chemical fixation — any body surface exposed to air during storage will not receive consistent chemical preservation. Medigear.uk can advise on fixative volume requirements for the standard internal chamber dimensions.

Material: Full T304 Stainless Steel

The RD-200 is constructed entirely from T304 stainless steel across the tank body, inner chamber walls, tray, lid panels, frame, and all fittings. T304 provides the chemical resistance and surface durability required for sustained contact with formalin, glutaraldehyde, and other fixative agents used in anatomy and histology preservation. Medigear.uk can provide the full material specification for procurement and site safety documentation.

Outer Dimensions: L2340 × W860 × H850 mm

The installed outer footprint of 2340 × 860 mm at a height of 850 mm positions the RD-200 as a full-size cadaver tank compatible with the floor plans of standard histology preparation rooms, anatomy suites, and mortuary preparation areas. The 850 mm height provides a practical pre-lift access level without requiring step assistance for standing operators.

Internal Chamber: L2070 × W700 × H450 mm

The 2070 × 700 × 450 mm internal chamber is sized to accommodate a full-size adult cadaver in the standard preservation position. The 450 mm depth provides adequate fixative volume above the perforated drain tray to maintain full submersion throughout the storage cycle. The internal dimensions provide lateral and longitudinal clearance for fixative circulation around all cadaver surfaces.

Perforated Removable Drain Tray: L1978 × W658 × H38 mm

The perforated drain tray fits within the internal chamber and supports the cadaver above the tank base. The tray dimensions of 1978 × 658 mm provide full-length support for an adult cadaver. The 38 mm tray height keeps the cadaver elevated above the base, allowing fixative to circulate both below and around the specimen. The tray is fully removable from the tank for independent cleaning.

Lifting Method: Hand Crank with Tray Removal Option

The hand-crank lifting mechanism is ergonomically positioned on the exterior of the tank at a comfortable operating height. The crank raises the perforated tray and cadaver by up to 310 mm. The tray can be detached from the tank and removed independently of the lifting mechanism for cleaning or specimen transfer. Medigear.uk can confirm the crank handle specification and lifting torque on request.

Lifting Height: 310 mm

The maximum elevation provided by the hand crank is 310 mm, raising the specimen from the fully submerged position to a height suited to anatomical dissection or histology examination in a standing work position. This range is designed to bridge the gap between the immersion depth and the working height required by anatomy and histology practitioners without requiring additional lifting equipment.

Cover Lids Opening to Both Sides

The cover lids are configured to open independently to the left and right, providing bilateral access to the tank's full internal width. The lids can be opened individually or together, depending on the access requirement. In the closed position, the lids provide vapour containment over the fixative surface and protect the cadaver from environmental exposure between uses.

Drainage Holes in Tray

Perforations throughout the tray base allow fixative solution to circulate through the tray during immersion and drain back into the tank during elevation. This drainage characteristic is essential for maintaining fixative integrity and for preventing fixative from pooling on the tray surface during lifting operations. The perforation pattern is distributed across the tray base for uniform drainage.

Capacity: Over 200 kg

The structural and mechanical load capacity of the RD-200 is confirmed at over 200 kg, covering the full range of adult cadaver weights in standard anatomy and histology use. This rating applies to the hand-crank elevation system under normal operating conditions. Medigear.uk can confirm load specifications for atypical cadaver weights on request.

Wheels: 4 Brake Wheels with Individual Foot Brake

Four wheels with individual foot-operated brakes are fitted to the base frame. Each brake is applied and released independently by foot pressure, providing flexible locking control during use. All four brakes can be applied simultaneously for stable operation during cadaver elevation and fixative filling. The wheels allow controlled repositioning of the empty tank within a laboratory or preparation room environment.

CE and ISO Certification

CE and ISO certifications have been confirmed for the RD-200, covering product safety and quality management standards applicable to cadaver immersion and anatomy equipment. Medigear.uk holds all certification documentation and can provide it to procurement and compliance teams immediately on request.
