Catalan term or phrase: mostroteques (VERY URGENT)
This is the report of an inspection made on a pharmaceutical manufacturing company. This point comes under "Magatzems i zones de recepció/expedició":

El sistema démmagatzemament és informàtic.
Les condicions ambientals de magatzems i ***mostroteques*** son controlades.
L'espai i ordre dels magatzems son adequats.

O know this has to do with sampling and/or testing, but I can't find the correct way of saying this term.

Many thanks in advance.

Collection of samples ("sampletheque"; see note)


Explanation:
This is an adaptation of "biblioteca". Instead of books, it cobntains samples. Same case for "vinoteca", "pinacoteca", etc.

Might it be (horrible as it sounds in English), a "sampletheque"?

pinacoteca.

(Del lat. pinacothēca, y este del gr. πινακοθήκη).

1. f. Galería o museo de pinturas.

(This is from DRAE, but applies equally to Spanish and Catalan)

and (Enciclopèdia Catalana - Diccionari):

pinacoteca


[del ll. pinacothēca, i aquest, del gr. pinakothḗkē, íd., comp. de pínax 'post; quadre pintat' i thḗkē 'dipòsit']

f ART Edifici destinat a conservar o exposar col·leccions de pintura.

The problem is, -teca as a suffix is not recognized (either in Spanish or Catalan) as a valid one for everything.

agree  Milena Bosco (X): http://www.gencat.cat/salut/depsalut/pdf/faindhum.pdf search for "mostroteca", nice explanation here. Maybe "sample cabinet" in English? Que tinguis un bon dia psicutrinius, Milena
