Hi all,
We are in the process of purchasing a large quantity of 'alcohol' for
specimen storage (the specimens will be collected by pitfall traps with the
use of propylene-glycol, so no molecular work will be necessary after
that.). So far we have been using 96% dehydrated ethanol bought in bulk (one
barrel at a time). We have received an offer from a company selling
'bioethanol' in competitive prices. Does anyone have any idea of whether we
can use that instead of what we used previously? Will it create any problems
to long-term specimen storage?
