Pressure BioSciences, Inc. announced that the company plans to release a benchtop, R&D scale, Ultra Shear Technology™ -based BaroShear instrument to the market in the third quarter of 2020. The company believes this new instrument will address a significant un-met need in product formulation and development laboratories in the cannabis, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and other large and diverse markets for processing CBD and other oils into stable, effectively water-soluble, highly absorbable nanoemulsions of oil in water. CBD and other cannabinoids are extracted from the hemp plant in an oil form. The water-based biology of human bodies has difficulty accessing and absorbing oily molecules from the surface of ingested or topically applied hemp oil droplets. The ultra-low droplet sizes created by UST in nanoemulsions are designed to deliver levels of bioavailability and effectiveness that far exceed the dosing efficiencies achieved from today's macro or microemulsions of CBD Oil.
Pressure BioSciences, Inc. is engaged in the development and sale of enabling, high pressure technology-based instruments, consumables, and services for the life sciences and other industries worldwide. Its products/services are based on three high-pressure platforms: Ultra Shear Technology (UST), BaroFold Technology (BaroFold), and Pressure Cycling Technology (PCT). The UST platform allows for the creation of stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible oil-based active components in water. It also allows for the preparation of higher quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room temperature-stable low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing non-thermal technologies. PCT utilizes alternating cycles of pressure to control biomolecular interactions (such as cell lysis and biomolecule extraction) safely and reproducibly. The BaroFold platform provides valuable contract services and GMP manufacturing equipment to the biopharmaceutical industry.
