Hello John,

Many years ago I tried this, however in the part of Europe I live the 
temperature and humidity in summer is such that gradually the capsules 
deteriorate (they become yellow and brittle) even when put in a glass 
vial (I was able to recover the shells by just dissolving the capsules 
in warm water). I therefore stopped using this method. There are many 
sites on the Internet which offer small vials/boxes for laboratories. 
That's the system I'm using currently and until now with no problems.

Erick
