<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black">Rite-in-Rain or "all weather" field paper is used by the many agency biologists depositing specimens and genetic samples with the MSB Division of Fishes and other repositories. Recently, the USFWS Southwestern
Native Aquatic Resources and Recovery Center has requested that I find out if there are any issues with using this paper for genetic labels in the field or otherwise. They tried to get information from the Rite-in-Rain company re: what was in the paper and
coating (formalin?) to determine if the paper would pose a problem for genetic samples. The company was not forthcoming re: Rite-in-Rain product specifics. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black">We have had many genetic samples received at both the Center and the MSB with these paper tags made by tearing pieces of paper out of the RIR field books, writing the sample number on RIR tag with pencil, and stuffing
the tag into a cryotube. Not optimal in terms of contamination issues, etc. but getting word out to field crews, etc. can be difficult. For many projects, I preprint labels on polyspun paper (DataMax) for researchers, but there are many opportunistic collections
that receive these temporary labels. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black">Any thoughts or insights? Does anyone have an idea of how this paper is manufactured/treated?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:black"> Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
