There is a lot of glassware entering the market from China and other countries that is not properly annealed and thus much more fragile than the soda-lime glass we are all used to.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">--John</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><br clear="all"></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">John E.

<pre><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I’ve recently sourced a new potential provider for glass jars for our fluid collection. However, the cost is so cheap I am suspect of the quality of the jars. I’ve asked them to send some spec sheets and I am wondering what the best features for long term storage that I should look for? Is soda lime glass acceptable?<u></u><u></u></span></pre>
