The Acari Collection of Instituto Butantan (IBSP), São Paulo, Brazil, includes many types and other identified mite specimens that were mounted in Hoyer's medium, mainly in the first part of last century. An effort to restore degraded preparations was initiated in 1996. In this process, an improved technique was developed, allowing the adequate cleaning of specimens mounted up to 50-70 years before. Types and other identified specimens of Trombidiformes (Harpirhynchidae and Trombiculidae), Sarcoptiformes (Acaridae, Atopomelidae, Listrophoridae, and Psoroptidae) and Mesostigmata (Dermanyssidae, Ixodorhynchidae, Laelapidae, Macronyssidae, and Spinturnicidae) deposited at IBSP Collection have been satisfactorily restored.
巴西圣保罗布坦坦研究所（IBSP）的螨类藏品包含许多类型以及其他已鉴定的螨类标本，这些标本主要于上世纪上半叶被固定在霍耶氏介质中。1996年开始了修复退化标本的工作。在此过程中，开发出了一种改进技术，能够对50至70年前固定的标本进行充分清洁。存放在IBSP藏品中的绒螨目（哈氏螨科和恙螨科）、疥螨目（粉螨科、顶单爪螨科、虱螨科和痒螨科）和中气门目（皮刺螨科、硬蜱螨科、厉螨科、巨刺螨科和蝠螨科）的模式标本及其他已鉴定标本均得到了令人满意的修复。
