Hello everyone,

I was curious of your thoughts and practices regarding the storage of specimens in an ethanol solution. Do you then store them in a fire cabinet due to the ethanol? We currently have some specimens stored in a regular cabinet in an Ecology lab space. They have always been stored this way, but I recently became the Chemical Resource Officer and want to make sure things are being treated correctly. This topic, however, seems to have mixed answers in the research I've found. Most items say to store in a cool, dark place but do not mention it needing to be in a fire cabinet. Any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated! 


Thank you,
