<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Lennart,<span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-language:ET"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 href="https://www.lista.com/en/products/drawer-cabinets/">
such drawer-cabinets</a><o:p></o:p></p>
