Abstract
This double-enclosure storage system has been developed to prevent evaporation of preservative fluids (typically 70per thousand ethyl alcohol) due to unsatisfactory jar seals. It has been designed in particular to reduce the risk of damage to valuable specimens that are infrequently used for study (such as type material or rare taxa).
