All distributors are on backorder. You can thank Akorn for that since they have 
monopolized the manufacturing market and Are not able to keep up with the 
demands of all the other smaller manufacturers they put out of business. (Also 
why the cost has more than doubled).

You can use 2 mL 25%. It's the same as 5 mL 10%. Most distributors still have 
25%. I switched my order to 25% last week and got my delivery today. It also 
does not make a difference if it's light or dark.
