<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While we are phasing out bail-top jars for most new acquisitions in the Mollusk Collection at Ohio State, we are looking to purchase new gaskets because we still use bail-tops for lots with volumes above 1L.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We use the standard Le Parfait jars in the following sizes – opening diameters:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1L – 84.6mm <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1.5 – 80.5 mm<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2L – 84.0 mm<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3L – 99.5 mm<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone have a good bulk supplier of archival Silicone Buna-N gaskets for these? I vaguely remember a Smithsonian best practices document that had suppliers listed, but can’t find it online now.
