<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Lennart,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">to me this looks like storage for lab
consumables, and even for this purpose you may need to prefer
(closed) chemical cabinets instead of open storage (depending on
the lab chemicals).</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">For ordinary fluid preserved
collections, the recommendation is not to go below 75 ml fluid
volume per container. Depending on the quality of the closures and
the environmental settings in the storage area, containers below
75 ml may dry up fast, if the seal/closure is bad. Depending on
the number of jars, you would need to adjust your monitoring
regime to spot evaporation losses and to prevent damage to objects
stored in smaller containers.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If you would need or want to store
specimens in smaller volumes, it would make more sense to use
closed cabinets with drawers. Ideally, as Simon recommends, the
drawers are equipped with grids or boxes that stabilise the small
vials or tubes. We have equipped our cool and refrigerated storage
with <a moz-do-not-send="true"

drawer-cabinets</a><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hope this helps</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dirk</div>
