[Nhcoll-l] separating animals out in ETOH

[Callomon,Paul]

We use glass shell vials and cotton. The cotton allows the fluid to move, and cannot decay because it's in ethanol.

Hi all,



I think this came up recently, but I can’t find the thread. I’m looking for a way to keep individuals separate in one larger jar of ETOH (for various reasons it is sometimes easier than putting them each in their own jar). The fluid doesn’t have to be kept separate – the real issue is when there is either a) an animal its associated organ that has been dissected out or b) marsupials with pouch young that may fall out and get mixed up in the future. I would like to be able to put them in separate plastic bags or something of that nature, all in the one jar. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!



Cheers,



Tonya
