Dear all, please let me ask you again about your experiences with anoxia treatment in nitrogen chambers:
My museum plans to install a fixed nitrogen chamber in its new building and wonders if the chamber actually needs a controlled air humidity, either by mobile dehumidifiers or by a more advanced, fixed climate control solution, or rather not. Is there actually any kind of impact of the air humidity on the efficiency of the nitrogen anoxia treatment? And, if yes, which? Also, we would like to ask if you have specific standards for the preventive and acute treatment of your collection objects (e.g. insect drawers) regarding the duration of the quarantine and perhaps also the repetition of quarantine cyles. With many thanks in advance and best regards, Stefanie Dipl.-Biol.
