If you are not already an acetonitrile customer, no vendoers will accept orders for that material anymore. They are operating on a quota system now, with each customer being issued a quota'd amount equal to their purchasing history. Does anyone have any news about when the plant that makes the acetonitrile will come back online? What about any news from the FDA? Are they entertaining alternatives for acetonitrile for use in submitted and approved test methods? Seems to me that whoever comes up with a workable alternative solvent will definitely have more than their 15 minutes of fame! ____________________________________________ "Distant water cannot quench a fire close at hand."
