[Nhcoll-l] Cabinet for Fluid/Types

[Haff, Tonya (NCMI, Crace)]

Hi Bernhard,

This isn't really a suggestion, just a caution when using - I have used those that Andy suggested before, and I found them awkward in that the doors (at least used to) won't hang open, and like to slam shut. I think if you used them with types you'd want to be careful (with signage etc) to make sure the doors are held open and closed gently and not allowed to slam, to minimise possible impact on specimens. But I haven't used any like that for some time, so maybe they're more user friendly these days?

Cheers,

Tonya

We have employed these in various parts of our collection like our teaching collection - https://www.uline.com/BL_3911/Flammable-Storage-Cabinets.

They should be ubiquitously available from safety stores.

Dear All,

we are looking for a cabinet for types preserved in ethanol. the Cabinet must be able to carry a certain weight per shelf (50kg) and should be lockable. we are planning an extra drip tray in each shelf so that other material is spared in the event of a possible accident and not everything flows down, over each object, into a drip tray. The Cabinet doesnt need to have air sunction.
Could those who have also stored the types in an extra cabinet show what was purchased for them?

Thanks in Advance,
best regards
Bernd
