<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking to replace some large plastic containers we are using at TUBRI and was hoping I could lean on the collective mind to help me with a recommendation for a steel tank manufacturer. Also any advice or words of warning when designing
/ purchasing large steel tanks would be appreciated. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These tanks will be used for large fluid fixed specimens, so they must be made of stainless steel and must have a lid that is airtight. Any help or advice is appreciated.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<u></u><u></u></p>
