Botany
Perfect for herbaria, these cabinets preserve botanical collections and protect them from infestation. The full-height models feature a pull-out reference shelf for viewing specimens in the collection storage area.
Entomology
These cabinets are precision-crafted to store your choice of four styles of entomology drawers – Cornell, USNM, California Academy, and Smithsonian. Pull-out work shelves are included on the full-height models to provide extra workspace. Choose from enclosed cabinets or open shelving to suit your needs.
Preservation

Our 920 Series: Preservation Cabinet was sent to a federal agency for a burn workshop in the fall of 2018. Although the side of the cabinet reached approximately 900 degrees Celsius (1650 degrees Fahrenheit), there was no water within the cabinet from the sprinkler discharge and items in plastic bags inside the cabinet were unaffected by smoke and soot. - Options Galore
