Roundfin RD-TANK

Histology laboratories and biomedical research facilities are the primary setting for the Roundfin RD-TANK Formalin Electric Body Bank. Long-term formalin preservation is required where tissue samples must remain chemically stable across extended study periods. The real-time electronic fluid-level monitor prevents the reagent from dropping below effective preservation thresholds — a critical performance requirement in which specimen integrity directly affects the validity of research outcomes. Medigear.uk supplies the RD-TANK to research institutions and can provide CE and ISO documentation for procurement and ethics committee review.

Medical college anatomy departments represent the most established market for a six-cadaver formalin body bank of this specification. Anatomy programmes require cadavers to be maintained in a preserved state across academic terms, with the ability to raise individual specimens to a working height suited to seated or standing dissection. The cage box elevation system, operating between 1410 mm and 2410 mm, covers the full height range required for anatomy use. Medigear.uk can discuss multi-unit orders and customisation for departments scaling their cadaver storage capacity.

Mortuary facilities requiring medium-term formalin storage rather than refrigeration will find the RD-TANK a practical alternative. The remote-controlled lift reduces manual handling when the tank contains fluid, minimising operator exposure to formalin and supporting workplace health and safety obligations. The integrated drain port enables controlled fluid disposal in line with chemical waste management requirements. Medigear.uk can advise on installation requirements for mortuary settings.

Independent research groups and private anatomy training providers will find the RD-TANK available through Medigear.uk with full specification support. The two- and four-cadaver options allow smaller operations to match capacity to programme scale. One year of lifetime technical support is included as standard, and OEM arrangements are accepted for authorised distributors placing bulk orders through Medigear.uk.

Six-Cadaver Capacity with Two- and Four-Cadaver Options

The RD-TANK's standard six-cadaver configuration makes it the highest-capacity single-unit formalin body bank in the Roundfin range, suited to anatomy departments, research institutions, and mortuary facilities managing substantial cadaver inventories. For smaller programmes or institutions setting up cadaver storage for the first time, we offer two- and four-cadaver configurations as alternative specifications, so procurement teams can match storage capacity to current operational scale without committing to a six-body installation. Medigear.uk can confirm pricing and lead times for all three capacity variants on request.

Remote-Controlled Lift System for Operator Safety

The cage box elevation system can be operated remotely, which is the mandatory operating mode when formalin reagent is present in the tank. This design prevents the common hazard of reagent spillage caused by cadaver cage movement during tank filling — a safety-critical feature in environments where formalin exposure poses occupational health risks. Manual control remains available for dry-tank operations such as installation and maintenance. Medigear.uk can provide the full operational and safety manual on request.

Real-Time Electronic Fluid Level Monitoring

The integrated electronic level meter continuously displays the internal formalin volume, allowing operators to maintain the reagent at a level sufficient to prevent specimen volatilisation without risking overfill. This continuous monitoring eliminates the need for manual dipstick checks. It supports compliance with the preservation standards required in anatomy and histology programmes, where the condition of cadavers must be maintained to a consistent specification over extended storage periods. Medigear.uk can advise on recommended fluid maintenance protocols for the RD-TANK.

Overfill Warning System for Reagent Safety

An active overfill warning system alerts operators when the formalin level approaches the maximum fill threshold, providing early notice to prevent overflow events. Formalin overflow in a laboratory or mortuary environment presents both a direct chemical hazard to personnel and a contamination risk to the surrounding floor and drainage system. The overfill warning system is a proactive safety feature that reduces the risk of these incidents without relying solely on operator vigilance during filling operations.

Integrated Liquid Inlet and Drain Port

A dedicated inlet port and drain port are built into the RD-TANK structure, allowing formalin to be introduced and discharged through connected pipe or hose fittings rather than by manual pouring. This significantly reduces the duration and extent of operator contact with formalin during fluid management — a meaningful occupational health benefit in settings where repeated exposure to formalin is a recognised workplace hazard. The drain port also supports controlled disposal of chemical waste in compliance with applicable laboratory waste management regulations. Medigear.uk can advise on compatible inlet and drain fittings for the installation site.

304 Stainless Steel with 1.5 mm Wall Thickness

The tank body is fabricated from 304 stainless steel with a confirmed 1.5 mm wall thickness, providing a robust and chemically resistant containment structure for long-term formalin storage. Grade 304 is the established material specification for equipment in sustained contact with formalin and other preservation chemicals used in anatomy and histology, delivering the corrosion resistance required to maintain structural integrity and liquid containment over a service life spanning years of continuous use. Medigear.uk holds the full material specification on file.

CE and ISO Certification for NHS and Institutional Procurement

Both CE and ISO certifications are confirmed for the RD-TANK, covering quality management, product safety, and conformity with internationally recognised standards applicable to medical research and laboratory equipment. Medigear.uk holds all certification documentation and can provide it to procurement officers, ethics committees, and health and safety teams at the due diligence stage, helping to reduce the administrative lead time for formal institutional purchasing approval. One year of lifetime technical support is included as standard with every unit.

OEM and Customisation Available for Distributors

The RD-TANK is confirmed as available for OEM supply, and we accept customisation options for authorised distributors and institutional buyers with specific configuration requirements. The RD-TANK is a viable platform for medical equipment distributors who want to offer a cadaver formalin preservation system under their own brand or tailor specifications for particular institutional markets. Medigear.uk handles OEM and bulk supply enquiries and can arrange direct discussions with the Roundfin manufacturing team for orders with non-standard specifications.

One Year of Lifetime Technical Support Included

Every RD-TANK supplied through Medigear.uk includes one year of lifetime technical support as part of the standard package — a meaningful operational assurance for institutions installing a specialist piece of electromechanical preservation equipment for the first time. Our technical support handles operational queries, troubleshooting, and liaising with the Roundfin team on any post-installation issues. Medigear.uk serves as the primary point of contact for after-sales support for all UK and international buyers.

Material: 304 Stainless Steel, 1.5 mm Wall Thickness

The RD-TANK is fabricated from grade 304 stainless steel with a confirmed 1.5 mm wall specification throughout the tank body. Grade 304 provides the chemical resistance required for sustained contact with formalin and other preservation reagents used in cadaver embalming and long-term storage. The 1.5 mm wall thickness ensures structural rigidity under the load of six filled cadaver trays and the weight of the reagent volume. Medigear.uk can supply the material specification sheet on request.

Capacity: Six Cadavers (Two/Four Optional)

The standard RD-TANK configuration holds six cadavers simultaneously, with two- and four-cadaver variants available as alternative specifications. The six-cadaver capacity is suited to anatomy departments and research institutions managing large cadaver programmes, while the reduced-capacity options provide a proportionally sized installation for smaller operations. Medigear.uk can confirm the dimensional and pricing differences between configurations at the enquiry stage.

Internal Chamber: 2000 × 1340 × 1280 mm

The internal chamber dimensions of 2000 × 1340 × 1280 mm accommodate the full-size adult cadaver trays used in anatomy and histology settings. This chamber size provides adequate clearance for cadaver placement and retrieval on the tray system without requiring the cadaver to be compressed or repositioned to fit the internal geometry. Medigear.uk can confirm internal clearance specifications for specific cadaver tray or trolley systems used at the buyer's institution.

Tray Size: 1940 × 580 mm

Individual cadaver trays measure 1940 × 580 mm and are sized to accommodate a full-size adult cadaver in the standard preservation position. Trays are accommodated within the internal chamber and are raised and lowered by the cage box elevation system. The tray dimensions are compatible with the internal chamber of 2000 × 1340 × 1280 mm, providing working clearance on all sides. Medigear.uk can confirm whether alternative tray specifications are available for non-standard cadaver dimensions.

Cage Box Elevation: 1410 mm – 2410 mm

The cage box elevation mechanism raises and lowers cadavers across a 1000 mm operating range, from 1410 mm to 2410 mm. This range covers the working height requirements of both seated and standing anatomy dissection, making the RD-TANK suitable for a wide variety of educational and research room configurations without requiring the room to be purpose-built around a fixed working height. An electric motor with both manual and remote-control modes operates the elevation.

Dual Lifting Control: Manual and Remote

Two lifting control modes are provided — manual operation and remote control. A remote control is required when formalin is present in the tank to prevent reagent spillage from improper cadaver cage movement under load. Manual mode is available for dry-tank operations, including initial setup, maintenance, and cage adjustment without reagent. The dual-mode system provides operational flexibility while enforcing the safety protocol for liquid-present conditions.

Electronic Fluid Level Meter

A digital electronic level meter is integrated into the RD-TANK and provides a continuous real-time display of the internal formalin volume. This allows operators to monitor preservation reagent levels throughout the storage cycle and to top up or drain reagent before levels drop below effective preservation thresholds. The real-time display eliminates the need for manual volume checks and provides an auditable monitoring record for institutions with formal specimen management protocols.

Overfill Warning System

The overfill warning system activates automatically when formalin reagent approaches the maximum permissible fill level within the tank. The warning alerts operators before overflow occurs, providing time to halt filling and prevent reagent spillage onto laboratory floors or drainage systems. This system operates independently of the electronic level meter, providing a redundant safety layer specifically at the fill threshold.

Liquid Inlet and Drain Port

A dedicated inlet port and drain port are integrated into the tank body, enabling reagents to be introduced and discharged via connected pipe or hose fittings. The inlet port allows controlled filling without manual pouring or open-top reagent transfer. The drain port facilitates controlled emptying for maintenance, reagent changes, or specimen removal, with fluid directed to the connected waste management pipework. Medigear.uk can advise on compatible fitting specifications for both ports.

Power: 1500W at AC220V ±10%, 50Hz ±1Hz

The RD-TANK operates at 1500W on a standard AC220V ±10% single-phase supply at 50Hz ±1Hz. This electrical specification is compatible with standard laboratory and mortuary supply configurations in the UK and internationally. The 1500W power rating covers the electric lift motor and all monitoring and control system components under normal operating conditions. Medigear.uk can provide the full electrical specification sheet for facilities management and compliance review.

Product Weight: 440 KG (520 KG Packed)

The RD-TANK weighs 440 KG as a bare unit and 520 KG in its packing case. This weight requires floor load assessment before installation and specialist handling equipment for delivery and positioning. Institutions should consult a structural engineer and confirm floor load ratings for the intended installation space before committing to installation. Medigear.uk can provide weight distribution data and advise on handling requirements ahead of delivery.

CE and ISO Certification

Both CE and ISO certifications are confirmed for the RD-TANK, covering product safety, quality management, and conformity with applicable standards for medical research and laboratory equipment. Certification documentation is held on record at Medigear.uk and is available for institutional procurement, ethics committee, and health and safety review without delay.
