Purchase Deposits for the New BaroShear K45 System Will be Accepted Immediately; Company Believes Sales into the CBD Market Could Double Current Revenue by Q2 2020
SOUTH EASTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 27, 2019 / Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (PBIO) ("PBI" or the "Company", a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables, and platform technology solutions to the worldwide life sciences industry, today announced the launch of its BaroShear™ K45 system based on the Company's proprietary Ultra Shear Technology™ (UST™) platform. The BaroShear K45 system is a unique and powerful next generation nanoemulsification system designed to fix one of the most critical problems facing CBD manufacturers today: the extremely poor water solubility of CBD oil.
CBD, a non-psychoactive compound believed to offer powerful health benefits, is extracted from the cannabis plant in an oil. After ingestion, because oils are not well absorbed, most of the CBD is flushed from the body, leaving little of the product to provide its beneficial properties. Because of these solubility issues, many CBD products on the market today contain an inefficient over-abundance of CBD and/or undesirable chemicals to try and improve its solubility in water.
For most oil-based products, the ability to prepare them as nanoemulsions can improve the product's absorption, medicinal benefits, visual appearance, and sensory presentation. Unfortunately, traditional processing methods struggle with this challenge. PBI's patented UST platform uses ultra-high pressure to create extreme shearing forces to make highly stable, homogenized nanoemulsions of materials that normally do not mix, such as CBD Oil and water. To view PBI's UST-processed CBD oil being added to a soft drink, a sports drink, and a beer, please use the following link: PBI UST CBD Video 040219.
Dr. Nathan Lawrence, Senior Advisor to PBI, said: "The unique concept of the BaroShear K45 system is based on PBI's proprietary UST platform. It was designed for the efficient and affordable manufacture of limited quantity oil-based material into high quality, water-soluble nanoemulsions. The BaroShear K45 system uses a custom-designed, highly responsive ultra-high pressure generating subsystem, matched to our patented BaroIsolator™ device and NanoGap™ valve. This allows for the highest effectiveness possible at working pressures up to 45,000 psi. The BaroShear K45 system is ideally suited for processing small amounts (e.g., 50 mL - 2 L) of high value product, such as CBD oil, into nanoemulsions with high yield."
Dr. Bradford A. Young, Chief Commercial Officer of PBI, commented: "Over the past several months, we have spoken with dozens of CBD companies. A common theme has been their desire to develop new and improved delivery methods for CBD and their concern with how best to make stable nanoemulsion mixtures of CBD oil and water. Our new UST platform, the BaroShear K45 system, can help companies make high quality, CBD-based products using physics (e.g. ultra-high pressure) instead of chemistry (e.g. lots of strong detergents). We look forward to helping our customers address the large and growing market for CBD infused foods, beverages, cosmetics and topicals."
The total cannabinoid market is expected to hit$89 billion by 2024
