Abstract
This storage system is an adaptation of the one presented by Ratcliffe and Messenger Vial Support System for Fluid Collections, this volume. It is designed for vials containing cleared and stained specimens stored in glycerine. The vials are stored in a closed drawer, in an upright position to prevent spillage. This system allows for maximum use of storage space while still allowing vials to be removed.
