Anybody knows anybody from scientific companies?

Posted by pelf in Turtle Talks

I NEED HELP!

I need to buy some vacutainer tubes (also known as blood collection tubes) containing lithium heparin (a substance that prevents the clotting of reptile blood). I cannot use those available from hospitals because they contain EDTA (a substance that prevents the clotting of human blood but will cause lysis in reptile blood).

Does any of you know any scientific companies who will be able to help me?

P/S: The scientific companies that I had approached today sell vacutainer tubes ONLY in cartons of 1,000 pieces. But I only need a maximum of 100 pieces!! *pulls hair*
