This brings up some questions: has anyone done independent testing
of Microchamber? Are there any kind of independent testing standards
for the removal of odor? Are other options for removal of odor? Have
aging tests ever been done on Microchamber? And more importantly, in
these times of dwindling budgets and massive cutbacks, who can
afford to pay premium prices for archival board and paper?
