Sigma-Aldrich has signed an agreement with New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, N.M., through its licensee, Highlands Stable Isotope, to exclusively distribute a new set of patented stable isotope labeled synthetic reagents for drug discovery.

The St. Louis-based Sigma-Aldrich said that HSI will offer approximately 16 compounds in all isotopic combinations and after the initial offering Sigma-Aldrich expects to distribute all of these materials through its ISOTEC stable isotopes product line.
