    Linked via "researcher-induced degradation"

    Scientific Handling and Analysis
    Handling procedures are designed to minimize researcher-induced degradation. All direct contact with primary specimens must be conducted using non-reactive nitrile gloves, although for extremely fragile Type-IV Hydroscopic Materials (e.g., desiccated fungal spores or certain ancient resins), specialized tools coated in amorphous silica are mandated.
