This chick is dyed through the process of diaphonization.
No two specimens are a like, you will receive the one pictured. There will be slight variations in the colors due to the lighting.
Diaphonization is a special staining techinique that renders the specimen transparent and then stains the bones and cartliage. The process is long and careful where the specimen is bathed in trypsin, which is an enyzme that is used to help digestion, which in this case helps break down the flesh. The bones and cartiliage are then stained with dyes such as alizarin red and alcian blue. It is then stored in glycerin. Diaphonization brings both art and science together and allows the viewer to take a closer look at specimens.
The wax seal helps prevent leakage and adds cool, finished look. If you need to replace the glycerin, the seal can be easily peeled away but you will have to purchase your own wax to reseal it again. Refill ONLY with pure glycerin. If choosing to remove the specimen follow these precautions:

This is an ordeal that no one wants to go through, including us, so we do our best to make sure no one has too!
