<p class="MsoNormal">The tanks we get from Delta Designs have a dolly with wheels so that the tanks can be easily moved from one location to another. All of our tanks are stored under shelving units in our wet collection storage facility. We can wheel them
up to our wet lab for opening and specimen retrieval or can open them up “in situ” thanks to our dedicated HVAC system that removes any vapors from the air. We will usually open them up and step away for a couple of seconds to allow for any buildup of vapors
within the head space of the tank to dissipate before using the tank.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I agree that a “snorkel” unit is a great solution for a wet lab facility to effectively extract fumes from tanks but these can be expensive to install.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I do have one question regarding stainless steel tanks, for those of you who use them. Even the smaller ones I assume are quite heavy. Where do you store them, and how do you access them? Do you have specially ventilated
areas for them, etc? Right now we try to do our work in a fume hood because of formalin fumes (some of our more historic specimens have very high formalin concentrations). I would love to know how or if people deal with this in their daily operations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I am trying to figure out a nice solution for housing larger specimens. Right now we have them stored in either old canning jars (really rammed in, not great), or in buckets (don’t seal properly and aren’t archival) or
drums with rubber (?) gaskets (they seem to leak when you tip them, no matter how much they are tightened). I really want a good, leak-proof or at least minimising solution, and I feel I haven’t found it yet. It’s really frustrating – the drums are even made
for brewing, so you would think they would form a nice seal, but they don’t seem to. If any of you have a solution you like for housing medium to larger specimens (and I actually mean anything over a 2L jar), or a solution for making gasketed drums work, I
would love to hear it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
