Researchers to get vital instruments
Local groups studying blood enter agreement with Japanese corporation

Two Lawrence research groups have entered into a three-year research agreement with a Japanese builder of scientific instruments and its U.S. subsidiary.
Oread Laboratories and the University of Kansas Center for Bianalytical Research reached an agreement with Shimada Corp. Kyoto, Japan, for joint research on optical detectors.
Optical detectors measure substances in blood, Oread, which is a private firm, and the center have been conducting research on optical detectors three years, said Ted Kuwana, the center's director.
Under the terms of the agreement, Shimadzu
Scientific Instruments Inc., Columbia, Md. the corporation's U.S. subsidiary, will design and develop instruments for the research. In turn, Oread and the center will allow Shimadu Corp. to sell the instruments to other research companies.
The terms of the agreement were finalized last year.
Shimadzu will both sell and lease the instruments to Oread and the center. The leasing agreement will allow the two groups to trade outdated instruments for newer ones.
Takeru Higuchi, chairman of the board of directors for Oread Labs, said that research equipment quickly became outdated and that the leasing agreement would allow the lab to perform research with the most advanced instruments.
"We are able to obtain state of the art instrumentation at a much lower cost," said Higuchi, Regens distinguished professor of pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry at KU. "There is hope on our part that they will expand into a significant instrument design laboratory."
Higuehi said, "We are trying to develop a technique to measure a small amount of targeted substance in the blood."
Shimadzu also has sent one of its engineers, Nobuaki Hanaoka, to Lawrence to assist with the research as part of the agreement.
Under the process, researchers first illuminate targeted substances through radiation or chemical processes and then measure them with the optical detectors.
