Procedures
Sorting Individual Drawers
- Remove a drawer from cabinet one. Make sure it is a drawer that has been sort to genus, not just family.
- Grab a drawer of unit trays for the material to be sorted into from cabinet seven.
- Make sure you have a good mixture of small and medium-sized soft unit trays and one hard-bottomed tray to place excess labels in.
- Scan the drawer of specimens to be sorted and look for the first alphabetically. Working your way through the drawer, remove all specimens of that type and place them together in a single unit tray
- If there are too many to fit in one unit try, move onto a second, but do not forget to place a label at the upper left corner of that tray as well.
