<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Heidi,<br>
<br>
colleagues at the Natural History Museum in Berlin introduced
large stainless-steel tanks used in large to store their canteen
kitchens specimens in the fish collection. While these are movable
(tanks with fixed wheels), London uses similar but much larger
stainless-steel tanks for storage that are fixed to the ground.<br>
<br>
In both cases, the cover of the tanks is designed in a way that a
steel lip running inside of the lid near its outer margin neatly
fits into the tank when lifting or closing the lid (like a
drainboard), thus preventing condensing ethanol from direct
contact with the gasket (which is fixed on a ledge running around
the outer rim of the tank).<br>
<br>
The movable canteen tanks have a bottom outlet plug which is
apparently quite handy if you have to empty the tanks for any
reason.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
Dirk <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Univers LT
Pro 55","sans-serif"">We use vats to store
our fluid-preserved, large specimens. Lately we have been
using fishery type totes with lids fitted with a rubberized
foam/neoprene gasket that fits in a small grooved channel
within the lid (see photo). We are finding that 1) the
gaskets are always falling out, 2) that they can easily
expand or stretch so that they don’t fit and fall out, and
3) that when we can get the gasket to stay in, there is
still a decent amount of evaporation that happens.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
