[NHCOLL-L:3057] Alcohol Specimen Storage

[Bob Glotzhober]

This is probably a repeat question on the list serve.  We have a very small number of cabinets (3 each, 36 wide, 18 deep and 72 inches high) with specimens stored in 70% alcohol.  The current cabinets we have are very basic and probably don't meet any fire codes -- although our buildings have been inspected by the fire department and nothing was said.  We are planning for some new storage and I am trying to find sources and types of cabinets that are designed for specimens stored in alcohol.  Can anyone give me some leads for companies that handle such units?
