Dear Blucken,

Below you will find Chitosan and Chitin pricing information from manufacturers.

This was a difficult search as most of the companies do not provide
pricing information on their websites.  Generally a form or an email
address is provided  where one may ask for a quote. Company name and
contact information is requested and for obvious reasons Google
Answers Researchers can not carry out this operation
