******Please Help*******
We urgently need to find a supplier of Taq DNA Polymerase.  NEB had a great
product but it is "unavailable".  
The scoop that we have heard is the Cetus's legal department has put
the clamps on Molecular Resources and NEB.  This is a powerful reagent
in the primer chain amplification technique, but it is killing 
our experiments to run into this difficulty in obtaining more of this 
polymerase.

Is someone out there making any?
Does anyone know of any alternate polymerase?

And finally, is anyone else having problems getting TAQ polymerase.  I will
let NIH know if there is enough need for their help us get a supply.

Thanks,
