Mopec DF100 Removable Grid Plate Autopsy Cart

Description

Mopec DF100 Removable Grid Plate Autopsy Cart — Product Highlights

• Flush-fit removable grid plates eliminate body lifting over tray edges — four specially designed perforated grid plates fit flush with the cart edge, positioning the body level with the leading edge of the cart top so operators can slide rather than lift during transfer to and from Mopec wall-mounted autopsy sinks, reducing musculoskeletal strain and injury risk for morgue staff during repeated body transfer workflows.
• Four independent removable perforated grid plates — each plate is individually removable for thorough cleaning and decontamination between cases, with perforation patterns that allow fluids to drain freely through the cart top during transport and while docked at the autopsy sink, maintaining hygiene across the full postmortem examination workflow.
• All stainless steel construction with heavy-duty 1.5 in. tubing frame — the welded stainless steel frame and cart top resist corrosion from repeated exposure to bodily fluids and chemical disinfectants, providing the structural durability and surface cleanability required in medical examiner, forensic pathology, and hospital morgue environments.
• 60-degree sloped top for rapid drainage and easy cleaning — the built-in slope runs from 35 in. at the front to 36.5 in. at the back, directing fluids toward the drain plane during use and facilitating fast surface cleaning and decontamination between cases without pooling or manual fluid management.
• Removable cart top compatible with motorized and manual fork-type lifts — the entire top assembly is removable and designed for transport via either a motorized or manual fork-type lift, supporting inter-department cadaver movement workflows in larger hospital morgues and medical examiner facilities where the cart top may need to be transferred independently of the cart chassis.
• Total Lock 8 in. caster system with pedal-operated locking and braking — non-corrosive polyimide plastic wheel centers with polyurethane treads provide years of lasting service in wet-floor morgue environments; total lock and braking are engaged through effortless pedal motion, securing the cart positionally during body transfer, docking, and examination without requiring hand contact with the caster mechanism.
• Stainless steel cart top with 2 in. recess and 2 in. edge for fluid containment — the recessed top profile contains body fluids during transport between the storage area and the autopsy sink, reducing spill risk in the morgue corridor and supporting bloodborne pathogen exposure control during cadaver handling.
• Designed specifically for use with Mopec wall-mounted autopsy sinks — the DF100 cart geometry, grid plate flush-fit design, and docking profile are engineered to work with Mopec’s wall-mounted autopsy sink line, making it the purpose-built cart companion for Mopec sink installations in new and renovated morgue suites.
• ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for Mopec, ensuring genuine DF100 products backed by full manufacturer warranty and expert support for morgue, forensic pathology, and anatomy facility procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mopec DF100 Removable Grid Plate Autopsy Cart

What makes the DF100 grid plates different from a standard autopsy cart tray, and why does it matter for body transfer?

The DF100 grid plates are specifically designed to fit flush with the cart edge so the body lies level with the leading edge of the top rather than inside a raised tray — this eliminates the need to lift a body over a tray edge when transferring to or from a Mopec wall-mounted autopsy sink, significantly reducing the physical demand on morgue staff during a task that is performed multiple times per shift in high-volume medical examiner and forensic pathology facilities.

Which Mopec autopsy sinks is the DF100 cart compatible with?

The Mopec DF100 is designed for use with Mopec’s wall-mounted autopsy sink line; the cart’s geometry and flush-fit grid plate system are engineered to dock with the sink profile of Mopec wall-mounted models — contact ARES Scientific to confirm specific sink and cart compatibility for your facility’s configuration, particularly if pairing with models such as the Mopec C Series autopsy sinks.

Can the DF100 cart top be removed and transferred separately from the cart chassis?

Yes — the entire cart top assembly is removable and designed to be transported using either a motorized or manual fork-type lift, allowing the top with the body in place to be transferred independently of the cart chassis in larger hospital morgues, medical examiner facilities, or anatomy departments where inter-department body movement requires lift-assisted handling rather than rolling the full cart.

How does the Total Lock caster system work, and why is it important in a morgue environment?

The Total Lock system on the DF100 engages both wheel locking and directional braking through a single effortless pedal motion, securing the cart positionally during body transfer, sink docking, and examination without requiring the operator to bend down or use hand contact with the caster mechanism — in wet-floor morgue environments where flooring is frequently contaminated, pedal-operated total lock reduces slip risk during cart positioning and keeps the cart firmly stationary throughout the procedure.

How are the DF100 grid plates cleaned between cases?

Each of the four grid plates is individually removable, allowing thorough manual or chemical decontamination separate from the cart top and frame between cases — the perforated design ensures fluids do not pool on the plate surface during use, and the stainless steel construction withstands repeated exposure to the disinfectants and cleaning agents required by bloodborne pathogen exposure control protocols in morgue and pathology and mortuary facility sanitation programs.

How does the Mopec DF100 autopsy cart compare to a standard cadaver carrier for body transport in a morgue?

The DF100 is a purpose-built autopsy cart designed specifically to dock with and transfer bodies to Mopec wall-mounted autopsy sinks, with a flush-fit grid plate system, removable top, and fork lift compatibility optimized for the postmortem examination workflow — whereas a cadaver carrier is designed primarily for body transport and storage rather than the docking and transfer mechanics specific to the autopsy sink workflow.
