<html><head></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi Juliette,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Generally I have found that stages in a ladder take about 2 hours immersion but this is averaging; larger more muscled specimens obviously take a bit longer while the specimen composition can adjust to the specific gravity of the new fluid.</div><div class="">The problem with what Rob has said is that generally, most specimens can accommodate the change from ethanol to Kaiserling without all the in-between stages, however, I have found in practise, that this is risky, leading to osmotic shrivelling in some tissues, so I make it good practice to make the stages, even though Rob suggests that it’s unnecessary. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have often found that wherever these changes are proposed on paper, or for health and safety reasons, that they are new ideas that present a Utopian view on how collections should be managed. In reality, this is quite different and I could quote at least one example where a major museum proposed in the 1970s, that all of its fluid specimens should be moved into a propylene glycol and 2-phenoxyethanol preservative (originally designed for zooplankton) and with disastrous and expensive results! This is one good reason why I dislike people changing fluids for specimens in which they have safely resided for years. As for Health & Safety or flammability issues, I have not heard of any (yet) problems with using the formalin and alcohol as preservatives; we are adults after all and understand the risks and precautions involved. For areas of the world where there is geological instability or where Summer temperatures frequently rise to 40 deg. C, this might be different. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Anyway, this is my opinion and although it may be beneficial to transfer some of the collection to KIII, I would not advise it as a blanket preservative. Instead and by all means, take fresh material through the Kaiserling preservation technique. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m sorry if this has been a difficult enquiry.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">

It would seem unwise to step through dilutions of ethanol then progressions of concentration to another preservative solely for the purposes of reducing osmotic pressure differences. The least osmotic pressure difference may be through direct transfer or some other path. I do want to recognize that there may be other reasons for wanting to go through a stepped procedure but we should not think that is the only, or the best, way to complete a transfer while avoiding osmotic pressure differences. Measurements of osmotic pressure differences between initial, final, and intermediate solutions will be required. For ethanol water solutions the data available in: Waller and Strang, Physical-chemical properties of preservative solutions I: Ethanol-water solutions. Collection Forum 12(2), 70-85, 1996.. I suspect for Kaiserling solution new measurements will be required.

It will take up much of your time, bearing in mind that you will have to take each specimen down a hydration ladder to water and then into a KIII solution with only half the glycerine content so that the specimens can accommodate to this stage - they will float at first and then gradually sink, then they can be transferred to the next stage - this will happened all the way down the ladder of alcohols - 60%, 40%, 20%, 10%, water, half-strength KIII then normal KIII. You will need a small tank for each stage - the clip-top plastic ‘really useful’ boxes are good for this and you will need one of those kitchen serving/straining ladles with holes in it to transfer the specimens gently through each stage!<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;" class="">I have had no experience of preserving DNA in KIII, I have always used 96% ethanol.

As you are based at LeHavre I am assuming that you should have many marine organisms in fluids? For many such organisms a move to Kaiserling III will be fine but you have to bear in mind that the osmotic pressure of KIII is considerably different to that of ethanol, even formalin. For delicate organisms (medusae, siphonophores) this changeover has to be carried out very carefully or you will end up with air bubbles inside them that appear when binary/tertiary azeotropes are used - miscible fluids of different specific gravities. You also need to bear in mind that Kaiserling’s technique was devised mainly for anatomy specimens as the preservative is good for maintaining the colour of blood and organs that filter it (liver, kidney). I have successfully colour-preserved marine organisms that were freshly collected and using the 3 stage technique - fixation, colour enhancement and preservation.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">All of this may sound rather negative but I am just warning you to be careful with the changeover.
