[NHCOLL-L:2142] walk-in freezer temperature

[ramotnik at unm.edu]

I have a few questions for those who use walk-in freezers at their
facility. If you use the freezer primarily for storing whole animals, at
what temperature (or range of temperatures) do you keep the freezer? If
you use a walk-in freezer for pest control (e.g., treating contaminated
specimens), would you recommend a different temperature? I am also
interested in knowing if you have any recommendations for a facility
that is considering purchasing a walk-in freezer for specimen storage or
pest control.  

Thanks,
Cindy
