E-drug: Availability of "Vit.C-Stix"
----------------------------------------------------------

M�decins Sans Fronti�res Belgium is looking for a test for the detection of
Vitamine C (ascorbic acid) in urine.

The test will be used to check the compliance of the children in the context
of a supplementation program in Central Tibet.
     
One of our physicians has heard about a "C-Stix" probably marketed in the US.
Does any E-drugger know the manufacturer (or a supplier) of this "C-Stix" ?
Does anyone know a little bit about the specificity of the test or have an
experience using it in a public health context?
     
Thanks for your help.
