<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would like to purchase a new freezer for treating our incoming herbarium materials. The research we have read indicates that a freezer capable of holding -20°C to -25°C is sufficient, but, perhaps, new research suggests that -30°C
with manual defrost would be a better choice.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to space considerations, we would prefer an upright, double-door freezer.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have recommendations for freezers/vendors and further insights on current research in this area?<u></u><u></u></p>
