for a long time. We also use this knowledge for easily adding paper registration labels to formalin or glycerine preserved specimens. By first dipping our with (Rotring) isograph black pigment ink hand-written registration number labels in ethanol, the label
will quickly sink to the preferred place on the bottom of the jar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
