Is amidated low methoxyl the same as universal pectin?

@ Trevor, I found Pomona's Pectin in bulk - I bought it on Amazon for about $30 for a half pound. It keeps forever. I use it to make jams and jellies and pate de fruit.

It shouldn't be too bad... here it is for $5 for an ounce, which will gel quite a bit, on Amazon:

They also carry it at Whole Foods, at least in Seattle.

Do you have your hands on some Pomona Universal Pectin? Good stuff, really easy to work with. It is definitely an LM (low methoxyl) pectin; it depends on calcium to gel and doesn't care about sugar levels. I'm not certain whether it is amidated - I see some sites that say it is but I don't see it on their own site.
