Fluid-Preserved Specimen Vessels

Our fluid-preserved specimen vessels are designed to enhance the visibility of your fluid-preserved specimens on exhibit. They are available in a wide range of custom configurations designed to fullfill your technical and aesthetic requirements. Borosilicate glass is used throughout for its high geometrical accuracy, excellent optical properties and exceptional corrosion resistance

Vessel selection generally falls upon strict criteria not limited to the size, shape or orientation of the specimen, specific preservative, access to the specimen over the long or short term, environmental factors such as temperature or pressure, viewing angle and aesthetic.

Lid selection extends beyond the functional requirement. Lids may serve as both access and view port. A clear top view or top and side view will determine whether that lid may have a ground glass seal, or may be a flat or stepped disc.    

We work with you to understand your needs and we explore a variety of design configurations to find the solution that is right for your application and your audience. All parts we fabricate and assemble to exacting standards, and we ensure your complete satisfaction to help make your project a success.
Fluid-Preserved Specimen Jars

Our specimen jars are made from high quality borosilicate glass 3.3, with Borofloat® 33 borosilicate glass lids. They are designed and fabricated according to your technical specifications, following underlying principles of good design in glass fabrication. We believe simplicity and efficiency of design and materials are key to focusing attention to the content of your vessel.




Fluid-Preserved Specimen Tanks

Tanks are made exclusively from precision cut and polished Borofloat
® 33 borosilicate glass. This unique specialty float glass has a wide range of outstanding product properties, such as high thermal and chemical resistance, excellent transparency and good surface quality.

Specimen Fluid Preservation Tanks are custom designed to accommodate the specific characteristics of your specimen, user, and use environment. They may include special features, such as Alcomon channels to isolate Alcomon indicator pills from your specimen, or fill or bung holes to facilitate restoring ethanol concentrations, adding, or extracting fluids, gases or air.
