Biology lab supplies, microscopes, models, and dissection tools in one place

The Lab Stockroom carries biology lab supplies, microscopes, prepared slides, anatomical models, dissection specimens, and the consumables that support biology coursework from elementary classrooms through college and research labs. This page brings together our biology-tagged inventory across categories, drawn from a 9,300+ SKU catalog built for K–12 schools, colleges, community colleges, research labs, and institutional buyers. Sub-disciplines including microbiology, anatomy and physiology, genetics, and AP Biology are included here, since products tagged for those areas also carry the biology tag.

Every biology product on this page ships from our Rochester, NY warehouse, with same or next business day shipping on in-stock orders. We accept purchase orders from schools, districts, colleges, universities, hospitals, and government agencies. Pricing on the page is the price you pay; no quote required for standard orders.

Biology lab supplies — frequently asked questions

What biology supplies do I need for a high school biology classroom?

A standard high school biology classroom needs six categories of supplies: microscopes and slides (compound microscopes with prepared slide sets covering bacteria, plant cells, animal tissue, and human histology), anatomy and dissection supplies (anatomical models or preserved specimens with dissection tools and trays), biology kits (ABO blood typing, DNA extraction, PTC taste testing), biological stains (methylene blue, eosin, gram stain), glassware and plasticware (petri dishes, test tubes, culture tubes), and safety gear (goggles, gloves, lab coats). The Lab Stockroom carries all six categories.

Do you sell prepared microscope slide sets?

Yes. The Lab Stockroom carries prepared microscope slides individually and in curated sets covering bacteria, fungi, protists, plant cells and tissues, invertebrate and vertebrate animal tissues, and human histology. Sets are organized by grade level and curriculum (general biology, microbiology, histology, and AP Biology). We also carry blank glass slides, cover slips, and slide storage boxes for classrooms that prepare their own slides.

What dissection specimens do you carry?

Our dissection catalog includes the specimens most commonly used in school and college biology programs: preserved frogs, fetal pigs, earthworms, perch, starfish, grasshoppers, crayfish, and squid, along with plant specimens for botany dissection. Specimens are available individually or in classroom packs. We also carry the full set of dissection tools — scalpels, scissors, forceps, probes, pins — and dissection trays and pads. If you don't see a specimen you need, contact us before ordering.

Are your anatomy models suitable for AP Biology and college courses?

Yes. The Lab Stockroom carries anatomy models at multiple detail levels, from simplified models built for K–8 classrooms through high-detail dissectible models used in AP Biology, college anatomy and physiology courses, and nursing programs. Each product page lists the model's detail level and key features so you can match the model to the course. For AP Biology and college courses, we recommend dissectible human torso, heart, brain, and skeletal models with labeled structures.

Can schools and universities order biology supplies with a purchase order?

Yes. The Lab Stockroom accepts purchase orders from K–12 schools and districts, colleges and universities, hospitals, research institutions, and government agencies. Submit a purchase order by emailing service@thelabstockroom.com or by calling (585) 360-2295 during business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST. For B2B accounts placing recurring orders, we can also set up account-based pricing and reorder workflows.

Do you sell biological stains and reagents?

Yes. The Lab Stockroom carries the biological stains and reagents most commonly used in school and college biology labs: methylene blue, eosin, gram stain kits (crystal violet, iodine, decolorizer, safranin), Wright's stain, Lugol's iodine, and Sudan III. We also carry agar (powder and prepared plates), buffer solutions, and reagents for the standard biology lab procedures including DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, and enzyme activity experiments.

How quickly do biology supplies ship?

In-stock biology supplies ship the same or next business day from our Rochester, NY warehouse. Most domestic orders arrive within 2–5 business days depending on destination and carrier. Preserved specimens and certain reagents may have additional handling or shipping restrictions; the product page lists any restrictions. If a back-to-school deadline or grant-cycle date is driving your order, call or email us before purchasing and we can confirm availability and lead time.
