Dear all,
please allow me to address a question to you:
Our museum will partially move into a new building and aims to virtually
quarantine our whole entomological collection (about 15 million specimens) at
once. Ideally. The intention is to put the palleted insect drawer piles into
cold chambers or e.g. anoxia tents. Since freezing the drawers would force us
to remove for example the numerous microscopic slides out of the drawers first,
because these could be harmed during the process, we thought that anoxia
treatment would be a good alternative. So:
* Does anybody of you has experiences with quarantining such an amount of
insect drawers at once, using cold or anoxia, and has some advice for us?
* Does anybody of you knows if anoxia treatment of closed insect drawers
piled up on palettes even would be possible or if drawers absolutely would have
to be separated and opened individually during the treatment?
With many thanks in advance and best regards,
Stefanie
