Mallinckrodt signs deal with Daiichi

Radiopharmaceutical firm Mallinckrodt of St. Louis got a leg up in the Japanese market last month with the signing of a distribution agreement with Daiichi Radioisotope Laboratories. Daiichi will become the exclusive Japanese distributor for certain Mallinckrodt products, while Mallinckrodt will gain access to certain Daiichi products outside Japan.
