Conservation Storage – Herbarium Storage Cabinets
Rotadex applied to a request from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to develop and produce a specific customer driven request for increasing the capacity of the storage units in the Herbarium store at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
The design required the supply of Herbarium storage units split into trays within an inert environment. Specific dimensions were needed to accommodate the samples within the available floor and ceiling space. The Rotadex Herbarium units were manufactured from 1.2mm steel with a smooth powder coated finish to BS 3900 to prevent off gassing.
- Individual unit dimensions are H870xW650xD480mm.
- Each unit features a double skin hinged door with magnetic fridge seal to prevent pest ingress.
- All units designed with x12 internal compartments with shelves cut away at the front and back to allow easy removal of specimen folders.
- The internal configuration is designed for the storage of herbarium sample folders.
- Designed, manufactured and installed to BS4971:2017 requirements for the storage of conservation and archive materials.
