We used to sub glass slides in our lab using gelatin powder. As the stock has gone empty, we are facing difficulty of acquiring new gelatin stock. Merck gelatin powder is undeliverable in our location/out of production.
My humble request to the research community, if any one of you could help me to get a proper subbing grade gelatin, it will be a great help.
Dear Amiyangshu De , Merck through its brand Sigma-Aldrich has a lot of Gelatin formultaions available, including biological origin, volume, price, etc, as you can see here:

I think that they have some agreement with the Indian Government and academic institutions, so probably you could get the product from them:

You always can look for chemical products using their CAS number, and as you can see in the first link, such number for gelatin is CAS Number: 9000-70-8
Hope it helps.
Thank you Manuel Gomez for providing such useful information, certainly, it will be of great help.
