Sarcomere

Advanced Working 

Model for Muscular 

Examination 

The smallest functional unit 

of a myofibril of striated 

muscle, the sarcomere, 

is shown here 

with Z lines or disks at 

either end. Scaled to 

tens of thousands of 

times its actual size, 

this moving model 

graphically illustrates 

the sliding filament 

theory of skeletal muscle 

contraction. Reflecting the 

most recent advances in 

electron microscopic ultrastructure, the model unequivocally demonstrates 

that individual myofilaments neither change shape nor shorten 

— rather the proteins actin and myosin slide past one another, resulting 

in the shortening of the sarcomere itself. The arrangement, configuration, 

and function of thin filaments (actin, troponin, tropomyosin), and thick filaments 

(myosin II), the M-line and Z-line are all clearly depicted. Applications 

for ths model include physiology classes, athletic trainer education, sports 

medicine specialists, physical and massage therapists, and more. The working 

sarcomere model helps bridge the link between cellular physiology 

and muscle tone, muscle cramps, knots and tears. Model also features a 

translucent sheath representing the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which can be 

wrapped around the sarcomere to offer greater understanding of membrane 

action potentials and the role calcium ion transport plays in muscle 

contraction. Includes a user manual. Size: 22"L x 6"W x 8"H.

Plastinated 

Biological Specimens 

Life-like Presentation of Organisms 

Prepared with a unique method of plastination, 

these biological specimens are ideally suited for 

research, teaching, and demonstration. The method 

of plastination is based on replacing the water and 

fat contained in tissues with special reactive polymers, 

rendering them dry and odorless while maintaining 

an appearance identical to their state prior 

to preservation, down to the cellular level. A vivid, 

completely lifelike specimen is then permanently 

preserved for years of student use. Produced by 

Dalian-Hoffen, these stunning specimens have been 

displayed in various museums and science exhibits 

settings. Now these astonishing pieces of anatomical 

art are available as teaching tools and classroom 

displays, exclusively through Ward’s Science.

No CO 2 or Humidity 

Incubator Required! 

Ward’s Cell Culturing Kit 

This innovative system allows students to learn about culturing of adherent and 

non-adherent cells without the need for gas or humidity control. A patented 

chamber design establishes a gas exchange rate that maintains a 0.2% CO 2 

growing environment and reduces dehydration to virtually zero. This means 

that you can provide your students with cell culture skills and experience using 

just your traditional bench top incubator. 

Ward’s Patented Petaka G3 Chamber allows: 

• Anchorage and growth of adherent cells on all internal surfaces 

(150cm2 surface area) 

• Increased protection against contamination; no caps or long necks 

that invite contaminants into the flask 

• Thin design allows use of a common compound microscope for 

viewing cells (up to 40X dry objective) 

• Low fill volume of 20mL can support up to 

15 million (1.5 x 107 ) cells 

• Spill proof operation for student safety 

Ward’s Cell Culture Kit comes with Petaka G3 Culture Flasks, blunt tip needles, 

syringes, biological reagents, an instruction manual, and materials for eight 

setups. A coupon is also included for perishable reagents and cells. Refill kit and 

materials available separately.

Filter allows self regulated gas exchange and the maintenance 

of a 0.2% CO 2 environment. Also designed to 

make the Petaka “leak proof.” 

Liquid Access Port—For adding and extracting liquid 

media, cells, antibiotics, trypsin, stain, and more. Port 

can be easily disinfected and is suitable for use with blunt 

tip needles as well as micropipette tips. 

Inner Chamber—sterile chamber protected from the 

environment. Supports suitable cell growth on all 

surfaces; ideal for most adherent and non adherent cell 

types. The 150 cm 2 surface area is made of untreated 

crystal polystyrene. 

Outer Chamber—Includes a micro channel system that allows 

liquid to be added and removed without exposing the inner 

chamber to the environment. Also prevents dehydration. 

Internal Gate to the Chamber—This gate is where liquid 

enters and fills the inner chamber from the bottom up.

Anatomy Lab 

Activity 

FoamBones are new “tissue-realistic” 

bone models 

available exclusively from 

Ward’s Science 

• FoamBones are made from a unique material that makes them 

lightweight, yet strong 

• FoamBones can be cut using traditional hand tools to reveal 

realistic internal structures 

• FoamBones provide an economical way for your whole class to 

cover osteological topics 

Using FoamBones and other materials included in this activity, students get an 

in-depth look at the structure and function of bone at both the macroscopic 

and microscopic levels. Students first observe the external and internal gross 

anatomy of a tibia by cutting through a tissue-realistic FoamBone to reveal 

compact bone, spongy bone, and even red bone marrow. They then observe 

the microanatomy of those same structures, as well as developing bone, 

using prepared microscope slides of real human bone tissue. Using a broken 

FoamBone and a special compound, the instructor will perform a unique and 

impressive simulated bone-healing demonstration. In an optional activity, 

students can witness the effects of calcium depletion on bones using chicken 

bones you supply. Includes enough materials for eight setups, a teacher’s

Certain DNA basepair sequences 

vary from person to person; for 

example, in one person a particular 

basepair sequence may be repeated

Ward’s Paternity 

Testing Lab Activity 

Determine Familial Relationships 

with DNA Fingerprinting 

Paternity was once determined by blood 

type, based on the concept that a child’s 

blood type depends on the blood type 

of the parents. Yet blood type can only 

exclude possible biological parents, not 

definitively determine the identity of the 

real parents. With DNA fingerprinting, however, 

it is possible to establish familial relationships 

with a high degree of certainty. 

In this lab activity, students work with a real-life situation, 

electrophoresing nonhuman DNA samples, simulating 

those of a child, mother, and two possible fathers; compare 

the banding patterns; and determine which of the 

two men is the most probable match to be the child’s 

biological father. The activity can be completed in two 60 minutes sessions and 

comes with enough materials to run eight gels, a teacher’s guide, and student 

copymaster. An electrophoresis chamber, power supply, and 10 mL micropipets, 

required, are available separately. Note: Coupon included for perishable materials.
