<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D">I would avoid plastic too. It could disintegrate in the EtOH over the year or leave traces of softeners and other chemicals that are not meant to be preserved on the specimen. My advice would be
to invest in more Jars and preserve the separately, you could store them togheter in one place so you still can find the easier. I have had horrible experiences with mixed jars, there is always some issue, especially when trying to find certain specimens.
If one of the Specimens shows any problem it will affect the other ones to, like leaching of lipids, and so on. Besides if you have different sizes, the bigger ones tend to press on the smaller ones, causing deformations on the specimens.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D">So my advice, don’t use mixed jars and don’t use plastic bags. The smaller veils and cotton are definitely much better, but usually just on smaller specimens.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I think this came up recently, but I can’t find the thread. I’m looking for a way to keep individuals separate in one larger jar of ETOH (for various reasons it is sometimes easier than putting them each in their own
jar). The fluid doesn’t have to be kept separate – the real issue is when there is either a) an animal its associated organ that has been dissected out or b) marsupials with pouch young that may fall out and get mixed up in the future. I would like to be able
to put them in separate plastic bags or something of that nature, all in the one jar. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
