As we have opened our last
Cinitest package yesterday, the information of Trevor seemed also very useful
for us. I have sent an e-mail to Enoltech, but the answer from Jenna is already
clear enough. A colleague of mine is suggesting to switch to Benedict’s
reagent from Sigma Aldrich. Has someone experience with that reagent?

Onderwerp: Re: Source of Clinitest Tablets
Dear Trevor,
Thank you for this information. We did try to contact the
Clinitest supplier via the link you provided but unfortunately had this
response from them...
Dear Jenna,
I understand your predicament with the withdrawal for sale of
Clinitest tablets by Bayer internationally.
We have secured stocks of the product for use in wine analysis but
not for pharmaceutical use. The trademark “Clinitest” is held by
Bayer and its use is strictly controlled by them internationally and we
are not in a position to supply product other than for wine analysis and only
from Australia.
Sorry for the difficulties you are having with sourcing this
product but supplies are limited and strictly controlled.
Kind regards,
John Vale
General Manager
Enoltech
So it still looks like supplies are limited, not available for
pharmaceutical use and therefore very difficult to get hold of in the UK.
Best regards,
Jenna

Subject: Source of Clinitest Tablets
After years of
anticipation on hearing about how hard it is to source Clinitest Tablets we did
run out in Christchurch (NZ) and blaming the Tsunami in Japan for destroying
the only factory in the world for the production of Clinitest tablets.
We have found another
source and received our supply o few weeks ago.
If you are still
wanting supplies see http://www.enoltech.com.au/products/laboratory-reagents/reagents-for-testing/clinitest.html
for details.
Xmas cheers
Trevor
