[Nhcoll-l] Acrylic boxes for anatomical specimens in glycerol

[Ruth Karen Murgatroyd]

Hello all,

I am looking for some information regarding acrylic boxes for the storage of medical collection anatomical specimens preserved in glycerol. The objects are still used for teaching and are handled by medical students.

In the past some of the boxes may have been topped up with alcohol and a few of the boxes have begun to warp and leak.

I would like to hear if anyone, especially those based in Europe, have a supplier that has custom made such boxes for their collection.

I am also, keen to hear tips and advice from those with experience making their own acrylic boxes for such specimens.

Many thanks for your help,

Ruth
