We have chemistry faculty members who have historic collections of materials they have developed themselves that are at the bottom of the round bottom flasks. These collections take up a lot of space and are hard to manage in accordance with good practice. During a discussion of this concern, the question arose whether what the best practices are for collecting and cataloging these materials into easily identified and managed collections. For example, are there well plates or other systems in place that are appropriate for collecting large numbers of small quantities of materials? I said that the wisdom of DCHAS-L might have some information about this and that I would forward the question to the collective intelligence. Any good experiences or ideas out there? Thanks for any information. - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu
