Research and development by HC Biovision.

Various improvements of the conventional plastination and preparation techniques allows us to provide exclusive techniques and specimens, which you will not find anywhere else. Grinding and embedding techniques, SI plastination, modified wet specimen injection and corrosion methods, flexible casts, colour preserved anatomical preparation and other techniques developed by Dr. Christoph von Horst were published in the AHE Special Issue about Plastination.
