A dip tank (immersion dissection table, body preservation tank) is a long-term investment in anatomy program sustainability. Understanding pricing helps you justify the budget to your university or hospital administration.

Dip Tank Cost Factors

Electric vs manual: Manual-lift dip tanks are lower-cost but require two people to operate; electric-lift tables cost more but support continuous-use programs with one operator. Tank size: Single large tank vs. two smaller tanks—depends on specimen volume. Materials: 304 stainless steel costs more than mild steel but resists corrosion from formalin indefinitely. Accessories: Removable grates, drainage valves, perforated trays, and caster options add to the base price.

Budget Planning

Single electric immersion table: Budget $12,000–$16,000 for the table, $1,000–$2,000 freight, $500–$1,000 site prep. Total: $13,500–$19,000. USPE's 1035-03P is $14,199, in stock. Anatomy program with multiple specimens: Budget for 2-3 dip tanks + supporting cold storage + body-handling equipment. Medical school multi-year buildout: Phased purchasing (year 1: dip tank; year 2: additional tables + cooler) spreads capital cost.
