Thanks, Martin.  I'll pass this info on to the folks at FAMU.  We did find one supposed source in Europe, but their American "partner" claims NOT to work with them!!!

I've just learned that BioQuip in the USA no longer sells Euparal.  Does anyone know if there's anywhere else to obtain Euparal either in the USA or shipped to the USA?
