Subject:  1,4-dioxan supplier-US




Hi All,

I am trying to run an assay based on a 1993 article published by Homer,
Denbow and Beighton about demonstration of glycosaminoglycans in small
fluid volumes.  The article mentions a chemical used in the assay,
1,4-dioxan from AnalaR, BDH Ltd., Poole, Droset, UK.  I need a suppier of
this chemical in the US.  Sigma has 1,4-dioxane.  Does anyone know if it
is the same thing?

Thanks for your help.
