<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I would avoid any sorts of buckets but
look into UN-rated (small) drums instead as they are stable
against chemicals, usually have a rather (air)tight closure and
have thicker containers walls (and thus less permeable for
oxygen); there are the traditional blue drums <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I need to order some buckets for storing
larger fluid-preserved specimens in. Eventually we would like
to go to stainless steel containers, but right now that’s not
an option…. Anyway, I am wondering if polypropylene buckets
are acceptable in terms of archival quality (I realise they
will eventually fail) and if not, if anyone has a better
recommendation for a relatively cheap solution?
