Subject: degreasing anatomy specimens

Do you have experience with degreasing anatomy specimens? If so, would you
be willing to send me the methods that were used, equipment and space
requirements, and success with and problems encountered? 

Do you know of labs or facilities that degrease large quantities of
specimens on a contract basis? If so, please send me the name and address
of the facility(ies), whether you (or someone you know) have actually used
their services, and your general satisfaction with the results..

Thanks!
