[Nhcoll-l] Liners for vial caps

[Sarah K. Huber]

Does anyone have a good recommendation for cap liners for 2-dram vials? I will be storing larval and juvenile fishes in 70% ethanol or glycerol (for cleared and stained specimens), and I would be interested to hear opinions on how various cap liners hold up to ethanol/glycerol (e.g., disintegration, evaporation, etc.). It appears that the main options out there are polyvinyl pulp liners, PTFE-faced white rubber liners, or low-density polyethylene Poly-Seal cone liners.



Thanks,

Sarah
