About Nebraska Scientific
Nebraska Scientific is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. The company traces its origins to 1960 when it was founded near Boyd, Wisconsin, by entrepreneurs who recognized that by‑products from the meat‑packing industry could serve as affordable, high‑quality specimens for biology classrooms. Instead of letting those organs go to waste, the firm began preserving beef, pig, and sheep organs for student dissection. Shortly after its start, the operation relocated to Omaha to sit closer to major livestock markets, and it has remained there ever since. A retail division bearing the Nebraska Scientific name was launched in 1968 to let schools purchase directly from the processor. Today the company processes a broad line of preserved specimens — fetal pigs, sheep brains, cow eyes, hearts, kidneys, and more than 600 other items spanning the animal kingdom — and supplements them with over 3,000 catalogued science‑education products. Its offerings include microscopes, balances, anatomical models, skeletons, live bacteria and protozoa, and a wide array of physics, chemistry, biology, and environmental‑science kits. The firm also produces dissection DVDs and videos as alternatives for non‑dissecting classrooms. Nebraska Scientific sells primarily to K‑12 schools, colleges, and universities across all 50 states and throughout North America. Its customers range from upper‑elementary classrooms to university biology departments, with particular strength in anatomy, life‑science, and environmental‑science programs. The business was built on the idea that packing‑house by‑products could be turned into valuable teaching tools, reducing waste while giving educators direct access to the processor. That direct‑from‑the‑source model, combined with a catalog that now spans thousands of items, remains the core of its value proposition.
