Specimens are animals, plants, minerals and other objects, after a variety of treatment, so that it can be preserved for a long time, and try to maintain the original appearance, in order to provide as an exhibition, demonstration, education, identification, verification and other research purposes. The specimen is naturally to dry disposal, dry storage.

How exactly does moisture affect plant and animal specimens?

Effects of Humidity on Specimens of Animals and Plants

For animal specimens, most of the filling materials of animal specimens are wire, wood shavings, sawdust, straw, cotton, etc., which are easy to be deformed after absorbing moisture. Especially small birds and small animal specimens, due to the same specimen body using a variety of filler, and its contraction coefficient is not the same, therefore, easy to deformation and warping and scrapped. At the same time, the animal specimens are mostly metal bracket, after the moisture casually rust, and then form the specimen damage.

For plant specimens, we must know, plant fiber is very easy to moisture, even if the specimen after moisture will not immediately moldy and rot, but also affect the shape and color of the specimen, so that it can not be well identified, it loses the significance of teaching, research.

Environmental humidity is too large, specimens easy to mold. Especially in the rainy season and summer, high temperature and high humidity, easy to make the specimen dermis not peeled fat from the specimen of the epidermis outward seepage, those specimens that seep out of the oil will soon grow white mold. White mold is a kind of fungus, it is attached to the specimen's appearance, so that the specimen's skin crumbled, decay.

How to control the air humidity in the specimen room? In fact, it is very simple, that is, in the specimen room configuration dehumidifier.

parkoo dehumidifier, can accurately control temperature and humidity, the water molecules in the air condensed into water droplets, and then disposed of the dry air out, so that the cycle can make the indoor humidity to maintain the appropriate humidity, to create a dry specimen room. High humidity environment will lead to faster reproduction of bacteria, PARKOOTECH dehumidifier can effectively lower the environmental humidity, humidity reduction will reduce the breeding of mold and other bacteria, to ensure the long-term preservation of specimens.
