Hi,

While digging in my bibliography looking for another paper that insists to
remain missing, accidentally I have found this one. Maybe it is the solution
for your problems:

Jeppesen, Poul Christian. 1988. Use of vacuum in rehydratation of biological
tissue, with a review of liquids used. Crustaceana, 55 (3): 268-273. 

Here are the conclusions:

"The investigated biological material (mainly various crustaceans and
nereidid polychaetes) was most satisfactorily rehydrated by placing it in a
solution of Decon 90 or dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, subjecting it to the
repeated application of vacuum/equalization at room temperature for 24
hours, rinsing it in water and finally transferring it to the desired
preservative."

It must hurt...

Dear friends and colleagues,

I wonder if you can suggest any chemicals to rehydrate dried polychaete 
material. And if you had any experience with rehydrating, I would love 
to hear about it.
Thanks!
Lena
