Immersion Table Planner™
Immersion tables are specialized laboratory fixtures used in anatomy education and pathology settings for specimen fixation, storage in preservative solutions, and tissue preparation. Unlike dissection tables and autopsy tables, immersion tables feature containment basins that hold liquid — typically formalin or other fixatives — for tissue immersion during the fixation process. The Immersion Table Planner™ by American Mortuary Coolers guides anatomy programs, pathology departments, and tissue preparation facilities in selecting and configuring the right immersion table for their application.
Immersion Table Applications
Immersion tables serve several distinct functions depending on the setting: in anatomy education programs, they provide the fixation basin for whole-body or partial cadaveric specimen preparation; in anatomic pathology, they provide immersion capacity for large organ or tissue block fixation; and in tissue banking and processing operations, they serve as staging areas for specimen preparation workflows.
Immersion Table Design Requirements
An effective immersion table must provide: a stainless steel basin of appropriate depth and volume for the specimens being processed, drain connectivity for fluid removal and table cleandown, chemical resistance throughout the basin, lid or cover provisions for fume containment when not in active use, support structure rated for the full weight of specimens and immersion fluid, and positioning that integrates with the surrounding lab workflow.
Immersion Table Equipment Solutions
American Mortuary Coolers manufactures and supplies stainless steel immersion tables in custom configurations for anatomy labs, pathology departments, and tissue processing facilities. Our immersion tables are designed to your specified basin dimensions, with integrated drain connections, appropriate gauging for your application, and the finish quality required for laboratory environments.
Immersion Table Design Considerations
Planning an immersion table installation requires: accurate specification of the basin volume needed for your largest specimens, floor drain location and slope adequate for complete fluid removal, chemical-resistant flooring in the immediate area, ventilation adequate for formaldehyde or other fixative vapors generated during immersion, and structural floor loading capacity for the combined weight of table, fluid, and specimens.
Frequently Asked Questions — Immersion Tables
What is an immersion table used for in an anatomy lab?
Anatomy lab immersion tables provide the basin for cadaveric specimen fixation and storage in preservative solution. They allow whole-body or segmental specimens to be submerged in formalin or other fixatives during the initial preservation phase of specimen preparation.
What material are immersion tables made from?
Professional immersion tables are manufactured from stainless steel for chemical resistance, durability, and cleanability. Basin thickness and overall gauging are specified for the weight and chemical loads of the specific application.
Can American Mortuary Coolers supply custom immersion tables?
Yes. We manufacture custom immersion tables to your specified basin dimensions, support configuration, and drain layout. Contact us with your application requirements for a custom quote.
Do immersion tables require special ventilation?
Yes. When formalin or other formaldehyde-based fixatives are used in immersion tables, appropriate ventilation — consistent with OSHA formaldehyde standards — is required. Many installations use local exhaust ventilation at the table position.
