Hi Julie...

The last time I checked, you could get CTC from:

Polyscience, Inc.
400 Valley Road
Warrington, PA  18976 USA
phone:  1-800-523-2575
e-mail:  polysci@tigger.jvnc.net
WWW:  www.polysciences.com

CTC catalog no. 19292
100 mg - US$ 68.40
1 mg - US$ 409.00

If they no longer carry it, we have some you can have.

Regards,

Bill Telford
