<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">In 2021 we wrote a proposal to re-curate our rubber-stopper vials into archival glass screw-top vials using a quote from Bioquip, since it was a verified vendor that we had success with in the past and had rates
that were some of the lowest for bulk vial purchasing. However, now that Bioquip is out of business, I was curious what companies you all are using instead with archival lids (the ones with the PE cone liners). We’re hoping to resubmit with a new quote, but
I haven’t found a vender that is comparable.<o:p></o:p></p>
