    The document details a comprehensive list of biological materials, highlighting their concentrations and formulations, primarily for research and diagnostic uses. The items are categorized into groups such as epithelia, feathers, fungi, plants, nuts, and various food products, with specific volumetric concentrations noted, often indicated as "W/V" or "BAU" alongside a glycerinated formulation. The file is structured methodically, making it easy to identify specific types of organisms or food products and their corresponding details, such as “1:20 W/V 50% Glycerinated” for many entries. The primary purpose appears to be informing potential federal and state researchers or grant applicants about the types of biological materials they can work with, relevant concentrations, and availability for study or application in various scientific contexts. This aligns with typical government Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and grants intended for biological research initiatives or public health undertakings. The information serves as an essential resource for laboratory settings and provides foundational data for applicants pursuing related grants or projects, underscoring the relevance of biological diversity in scientific research.
