[NHCOLL-L:3907] Changing preservatives from Isopropanol to Ethanol

[Sendall, Kelly RBCM:EX]

Our museum's fluid collections in Natural History include a substantial
amount of specimens in isopropanol. We are considering transferring all
those into 70% ethanol. 
Does anyone have experience with this? 
Does anyone know of any websites or publications to investigate?
