[Nhcoll-l] Holotype specimens on SEM stubs

[Menard, Katrina]

Hi All,

We have received a request to deposit a holotype of a protist into our collection, but the specimen was used for SEM. We have desiccation chambers for storing SEM stubs for working research, but I wanted to know if there is a best practice for long-term storage of SEM specimens that are designated holotypes/type material. Do other collections utilize sequestered chambers for type material, or is there another way to store unicellular type material that was coated?

Thank you for all of your input and suggestions,

Katrina
