Mini Post No. 5 – Storing the samples we analyse



July 2, 2014

We collect a lot of samples during the year and these days we store them in little plastic resealable bags or if they are really small we put them in clear gelatin capsules… But back in the days before plastic (and in an era where more people smoked!) we used matchstick boxes.

Matchstick samples
Old samples have been placed into matchstick boxes to keep them organised and safe :)
