Dear Michael

You have two options for ordering CyGEL (Product code: CY10500) (& DRAQ5,
etc):

1) our website www.biostatus.com: go to our "purchase" page, register and
then if USA is used the prices come up in USD.  You can order by credit
card or conventional purchase order system using the guidance notes.  We
deliver anywhere worldwide within 48 hours.

2) Axxora.com: CyGEL is distributed by Axxora.  Check the price before
ordering cf. our published web prices.

You may be interested to know that CyGEL was cited in a new methods paper
published online last week for live parasite imaging from the laboratory
of Professor Deborah Smith, University of York, UK:

Validation of a New Method for Immobilising Kinetoplastid Parasites for
Live Cell Imaging. Helen P. Price, et al. Molecular and Biological
Parasitology

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T29-4XCYJ8M-1&_user=4306206&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_acct=C000010338&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=4306206&md5=c8b8f4f1cf55421b0f7de62d46fd3af6

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding CyGEL or
CyGEL Sustain, particularly regarding the creation of wells on slides, or
imaging of cells, C elegans, Danio, etc.

Best regards
