[Nhcoll-l] glass storage for fluid collections

[Callomon,Paul]

Our standard screw-top jars are soda-lime and have held up just fine for over 60 years.

External.

Hello,



I've recently sourced a new potential provider for glass jars for our fluid collection.  However, the cost is so cheap I am suspect of the quality of the jars.  I've asked them to send some spec sheets and I am wondering what the best features for long term storage that I should look for?  Is soda lime glass acceptable?



Thank you for the feedback or direction to recent resources!
