[Nhcoll-l] Freeze drying

[Sergio Montagud]

The freeze drying technique to preserve small specimens of invertebrates and vertebrates (lizards, frogs, mouses...) had a good acceptance by Natural History Museums years before. But now, seems not to hear so many news about it...

 

We are thinking to acquire a freeze drying to prepare small vertebrates (reptiles and amphibians) and big invertebrates like cephalopods, spiders or similars. Main objectives are for DNA preservation, quality expositions and didactic materials for children's and scholar purposes.

 

Someone that works with this technique and can recommend models, experiences and companies?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Sergio
