I usually get my ACN from VWR. They just sent me a letter today that said and I quote:
'Due to a world-wide shortage of Acetonitrile, our leading suppliers have declared Force Majeure and ongoing supply is severely limited. Product is being allocated to VWR from our chemical suppliers, and as a result we will be allocating to our customers based upon a factor of their past usage. We intend to support our loyal customers with allocated quantities while product supply lasts; therefore, will regrettably be unable to fulfill orders from customers whom have not ordered Acetonitrile recently from us until the situation changes.'
I called up Fisher and they told me that they are also affected by the ACN shortage, but they are not allocating their supply.
I'm surprised that no one has heard of this.
