<p class="MsoNormal">Simonis right that storage of regulated chemicals usually requires specifically safety rated storage furniture; for the storage of jars in fluid storage, there are pros and cons regarding storage inside such cabinets (e.g. just to mention
microclimats that may build up inside cabinets or more staff time needs to be considered for regular monitoring intervals) - so this really is wide field with a multitude of possible answers.<o:p></o:p></p>

<pre>Hmm,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Didn’t quite understand the message but I presume that you’re asking about needing a safety cabinet to store formaldehyde and alcohol? This depends on your country’s regulations for storage of these fluids. In the UK we are required to store fluids that are carcinogenic / mutagenic / flammable / corrosive / toxic &c inside a special metal and lockable cabinet that has been painted with corrosion-resistant paint.<o:p></o:p></pre>
