I got 70% and 95% alcohol at hand for preservation purposes, and I got small glass vials as well. Is this good or should I use another percentage alcohol? Do I kill them by drowning in the alcohol or is it better to use ethylacetate for the actual killing? I also got acetone when needed. Should I use some kind of plug in the vial (apart from the rubber cork on top) to prevent movent during transportation?

Thank you,
