If you’re a science teacher, chances are you’ve faced the all-too-familiar last-minute panic: the lesson plan is ready, your students are excited, and—oh no—you’re missing key supplies for the lab. Maybe the dissection trays are cracked, the specimen jars are nowhere to be found, or half your microscopes don’t have slides. Been there? We get it.
When you’re juggling lesson planning, grading, student questions, and the occasional hallway duty, hunting down lab supplies should not be another stressor on your plate. That’s where custom lab kits from TMBS come in. Whether you’re teaching middle school biology or high school anatomy, our science kits take the guesswork—and the hassle—out of hands-on learning.
Let’s walk through how the right lab kit can make science simpler, smoother, and way more fun (for you and your students).
The Problem with Piecing Things Together
Most science classrooms rely on a Frankenstein mix of leftover supplies, borrowed equipment, and frantic supply closet digging. It’s a patchwork approach that leaves too much to chance—especially when you’re trying to meet state standards and run a safe, structured lab.
That’s why teachers across the country are turning to custom lab kits from TMBS. We specialize in building kits that are tailored to your curriculum, your classroom needs, and your budget. No more hoping that an all-in-one kit from a big-box supplier “sort of” works for your objectives. We make sure everything’s included, tested, and ready to go—down to the gloves and trays.
You can browse a wide range of supplies, including live specimens, preserved specimens, safety gear, and more—so your kit can be as simple or as complex as your lesson requires.
What Makes a Custom Kit So Useful?
Here’s the short version: it saves you time, money, and sanity.
Each kit is designed to:
- Include exact quantities based on your class size
- Follow your specific curriculum or unit goals
- Contain high-quality supplies that won’t fail mid-lab
- Arrive on time and ready to use
- Eliminate over-ordering (and under-preparing)
And the real bonus? You’ll spend less time prepping and more time actually teaching. That means more energy for engaging students, leading discussions, and helping learners dive deeper into hands-on science. Isn’t that the fun part, anyway?
Custom Kits in Action: Dissections, Microbiology, and More
Let’s say you’re gearing up for a big unit on anatomy. You could spend days rounding up preserved frogs, pins, trays, gloves, and safety goggles—or you could order a frog dissection kit that includes all of that in one easy package. At TMBS, we offer customizable kits that are built around the specimens you choose—so whether you’re doing a simple earthworm dissection or diving into something more advanced like fetal pigs or sharks, we’ve got you covered.
We also supply kits for:
- Microscopy and slide preparation
- Microbiology and bacteria culturing
- Plant biology and botany
- Chemistry setups (yes, we cover glassware too!)
- STEM enrichment projects
Need something you don’t see in our catalog? Just reach out. We love working directly with educators to build something that fits their specific course needs.
Quality You Can Trust
Let’s be honest—there’s nothing worse than cheap equipment that breaks the first time you use it. That’s why TMBS is known for supplying durable, classroom-ready materials that hold up to repeat use and student handling.
Our preserved specimens are carefully packaged for safe storage and clean dissection, and our live specimens arrive healthy and ready to support meaningful observation and interaction. When you order from us, you’re getting the same trusted materials schools across the country have relied on for years.
We also offer ongoing support—because science doesn’t stop when the box is delivered. Our team is happy to help with follow-up questions, reordering tips, or finding substitutes if a particular supply is out of season.
Say Goodbye to the Supply Scramble
Custom kits aren’t just for big schools or advanced classes. They’re for any educator who wants lab day to feel exciting—not chaotic. Whether you’re brand new to the classroom or a seasoned science pro, we’re here to help streamline your workflow and make hands-on science smoother from start to finish.
All it takes is a quick chat with our team to get started. We’ll walk you through the process, help you choose your materials, and take care of the packaging and prep. You can focus on what you do best—teaching, inspiring, and turning “ew!” into “whoa!”
