Immersion Dissection Tables

Immersion Dissection Tables for Anatomy & Donor Programs

U.S. Pathology Equipment builds cadaver immersion dissection tables in 304 stainless steel at our Johnson City, Tennessee facility. An immersion table combines submersion storage and a dissection surface in one unit: the donor remains in preservation solution between sessions and raises to working height when the lab convenes. The 1035 series runs in two configurations — the powered Electric Immersion Dissection Table (1035-03P) and the non-powered Manual Immersion Dissection Table (1035-03M).

Medical schools, willed-body programs, and anatomical research labs buy these tables factory-direct: no dealer margin, no import lead times, and one Tennessee phone number for quoting, freight, and warranty.

Immersion Table Configurations

— Electric immersion dissection tables — powered lift raises and lowers the body tray between the solution tank and dissection height at the touch of a control; suited to labs cycling donors daily.
— Manual immersion dissection tables — mechanical lift with no electrical requirement; a lower-cost path to the same submersion-storage workflow.
— Tank-and-tray construction — 304 stainless solution tank with a perforated lift-out tray, so the donor drains as it rises and the work begins at a clean surface.

Why Anatomy Labs Run Immersion Storage

Gross anatomy courses work the same donor for a semester or longer. Immersion keeps tissue in continuous contact with preservation solution between sessions, which slows drying and keeps dissection quality consistent across the term — without moving the donor between a cooler and a separate table every class. One station stores, presents, and drains.

304 Stainless Construction

Tanks, trays, and frames are fabricated from 304 stainless steel with continuous welds — the standard for equipment living in constant contact with preservation chemistry and cleaning agents. Crevice-free interiors simplify drain-down and decontamination between donors.

Factory-Direct From Tennessee

American Mortuary Equipment has manufactured mortuary and pathology equipment in Johnson City, Tennessee since 2009. Immersion tables ship from the same floor as our dissection tables, grossing stations, and cadaver storage — one purchase order, one freight coordination, one warranty contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an immersion dissection table?

A stainless tank table that stores a cadaver submerged in preservation solution and raises it on a perforated tray to working height for dissection. Storage and work surface in one footprint.

What is the difference between the electric and manual models?

The electric 1035-03P raises and lowers the tray with a powered lift; the manual 1035-03M uses a non-powered mechanical lift, requires no electrical service, and comes in at a lower price point. The tank-and-tray workflow is the same.

Who uses immersion tables?

Medical school gross anatomy labs, willed-body donor programs, and anatomical research facilities where the same donor is worked over weeks or months.

What preservation solutions can the tank hold?

The 304 stainless tank is built for the solutions commonly used in anatomical donor programs. Tell us your facility's chemical program when you request a quote and we'll confirm compatibility for your protocol.

Does an immersion table replace refrigerated cadaver storage?

They serve different workflows. Immersion suits long-course anatomy programs working preserved donors; refrigeration suits shorter holds and unpreserved cases. Many institutions run both — we build the coolers and freezers too.

How is pricing handled?

Immersion table pricing is quote-based. Call 1-888-792-9315 or email po@mymortuarycooler.com — most quotes go out within one business day, with freight to all 50 states.
