Bioreagents on 'wanted' list Industry interest is behind University Technologies International Inc.'s current campaign to locate and license bioreagents on the University of Calgary campus. The industry knows this and also knows there are labs across the continent who might be able to use the same tools. They have been contacting us because of the reputation the University of Calgary has in research circles and because of UTI's success in commercializing reagents. UTI is carrying out an information and advertising campaign to encourage researchers to disclose the bioreagents they have developed. In addition to putting advertisements in the Gauntlet and Gazette campus newspapers, UTI has placed posters in strategic locations through the research areas.
Disclosure is the first step to commercializing a new technology or discovery.
Researchers who feel they have reagents of interest or who would like more information can contact Chow , Kevin McDuffie or Keith Gilchrist at UTI at 270-7027 in Calgary. Dr. Ward was Professor Emeritus in Civil Engineering as well as Vice President, Research, at the University. Among his many contributions was the formation of UTI Inc. in 1989. For Industry Inc. is putting on another coat. Already a leader in the industrial coatings field with its UniSeal line of products, Edmonton-based RSI has licensed the breakthrough mechanical alloying process developed by Dr. Shaw of the UofC's Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
