Source for tubes for paste storage

Regarding Mark Andersson's recent inquiry about tubes for long term
storage of starch paste, we are pleased with the performance of the
30cc plastic syringes made by B-D (Becton Dickinson). Their item
number is 309662. We buy them from Fisher Scientific. We adopted
this approach after reading the very fine article, "Long-term
Storage of Wheat Starch Paste," by Bruce Miller and William Root, in
Studies in Conservation, vol 36 1991-85-92.
