Wet Specimens care instructions

Wet specimens care instructions All wet samples slowly change with time, tissues became harder and lighter/darker in color. Preserving liquid (in my store it is always alcohol) darkens and evaporates. It is natural and unavoidable process. There are no health hazards related to alcohol. If your specimen is sealed with cork and wax, evaporation will be slower, but you would need to break the seal to replenish alcohol when the levels gets too low (it usually takes long time, but depends on the storing conditions). If you received your specimen unsealed due to the shipping restrictions, you need to fill the jar or the vial with any available alcohol with concentration 70%. Alcohol (isopropyl, ethanol) is easily available

Great item, very well packaged, would recommend seller. Delivery was longer than Etsy originally predicted (4 weeks from ordering to delivery). But it was Canada to UK. It was worth the wait but just allow plenty of time if buying as a gift and you're overseas
