[NHCOLL-L:5431] permanent storage of insect genatalia

[Mary Sollows]

I would like some archival advice on choosing micro vials for permanent storage of insect genitalia.  Please comment on the pros and cons of: a. Glass Micro Vials with Silicone Stoppers, b. Polyethylene Micro Vials with Silicone Stoppers and c. Polyethylene Micro Vials with Neoprene Stoppers.  I welcome other suggestions for permanent storage.

Thanks,
Mary
