[NHCOLL-L:1921] Plastic vials

Tue Apr 29 10:21:46 EDT 2003

We are thinking of replacing the glass vials in our dry mollusk specimen collection with plastic, and I am seeking advice on possible choices. Our motives are price, durability (they are occasionally dropped onto concrete floors) and weight. Any recommendations, tales of woe and other experiences are most welcome.
