I could not find the product no in the sigma catalogue for the two novozyme enzymes under the trademarks CELLIC CTEC3™ and CELLIC HTEC3™. Following are the application of the 2 enzymes which have been used in a lot of "recent research papers" where it is mentioned that they have acquired the same from Novozyme, Denmark
1) Cellic CTec3 is a cellulase and hemicellulase complex that allows for the efficient conversion of pretreated lignocellulosic materials to fermentable sugars.
2) Cellic HTec3 is a enzyme for effective hydrolysis of insoluble and soluble hemicellulose to fermentable sugars.
From which other company can we procure the two enzyme blends ?
You have to get more information from the technical services of
Sigma Aldrich Chemicals Pvt Ltd

Both Cellic CTec3 and HTec3 are produced by Novozymes and you are not going to find them in Sigma-aldrich or any similar companies as these one only have older cocktails such as Celluclast 1.5L. Currently, you can not buy directly any Cellic technology neither the older techbology (CTec and HTec) or the newer (CTec3 and HTec3). You need to contact Novozymes and request a sample for research purposes, stating what you want to achieve and you can find a form in their website.

Jose A. Perez-Pimienta Thanks a lot for the help. You were right sigma is not supplying these enzymes. We have received the quotation from sigma for Celluclast 1.5L. But since Celluclast 1.5L is used in combination with another enzyme Novozyme 188 which is cellobiase enzyme which converts cellobiose into glucose.This enzyme is not available with sigma. If we order Celluclast 1.5L is it possible to procure Novozyme 188 from Novozyme. Or is there any alternative to Novozyme 188 available elsewhere (no alternative present in sigma catalogue).
You need to contact them in any office, then they will put you in contact with the corresponding person and they can make you a donation (in my case the donation was Cellic CTec2 and HTec2).
If you want to buy, they only sell by the ton, they told me that a couple of months ago.
By the way, Cellic CTec2 is on sale at Sigma-Aldrich. Look for it like "Cellulase, enzyme blend"
Javier Ulises Hernández Beltrán Thanks for your help. You are right Cellic CTec2 is for sale Sigma-Aldrich but currently its unavailable as we can see on site.
I would be happy to know how to purchase cyclodextringlycosyltransferase enzyme used in manufacturing of cyclodextins
May be you can try contacting the Novozymes division based in India or you can try with creative enzymes or Indiart
