Launch of our Revolutionary UST-Based System to Make High Quality, Water-Soluble Nanoemulsions of CBD Oil
We released a short video demonstrating the ability of our proprietary UST platform to create water-soluble CBD Oil that disperses instantly when infused into soft drinks, sports drinks, and beer for enhanced quality and absorption
We announced our entrance into the CBD market with the launch of a novel processing system (the BaroShear K45) to revolutionize the manufacture of water-soluble, long-term stable, highly absorbable, nanoemulsified CBD Oil
We announced the initial close and customer for our BaroShear K45 nanoemulsification system
We made measurable progress on the build-out of our GMP-compliant manufacturing laboratory, where we expect to showcase the BaroShear K45 and the industrial scale, high volume, 2 liter per minute UST-based nanoemulsification systems
Ohio State/PBIO Project to Develop Safer, More Nutritious, Long Shelf-life, Clean Label Food and Beverages
We achieved the first major milestone in our USDA-funded project to develop a potential breakthrough processing method for higher quality, more nutritious, and safer food and beverages - with a focus on dairy products such as milk. This novel processing method is based on PBIO’s patented Ultra Shear Technology™ (UST™) platform.
Expansion of our Recently Launched BaroFold Contract Services Business
We entered into a six-figure agreement with a multi-national, multi-billion-dollar biopharma company
We continued discussions towards an agreement with a second multi-national, multi-billion-dollar company
We expanded the contract services laboratory with additional specialized equipment and new methods/applications
Expanded Applications for our Core Suite of PCT and Constant Pressure-based Instruments
At the June conference of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, Dr. Tom Conrads (a nationally-acclaimed protein chemist) spoke on the critical role played by PBI’s Barocycler EXT platform in helping to make the profiling of their Laser Capture Microdissected tumor tissue samples possible at the throughput required in their APOLLO Cancer Moonshot program
Scientists at Tennessee State University showed that PBIO’s HUB instrument platform was highly effective in studies to develop improved methods for food safety, addressing the need for new ways to prevent serious food-borne diseases caused by bacteria such as E. coli and Listeria.
Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, said: “Because of the poor water solubility of today’s oil-based CBD products, most ingested CBD is flushed from the body, leaving little of the product to provide its beneficial properties. After much diligence and analysis, we concluded that we have the expertise and experience to successfully address this critical issue. Consequently, we pulled significant hours away from many of our staff over the past few months and had them focus on the development of an instrument system - based on our patented UST platform - that would increase the water-solubility, and thus the absorption, of CBD Oil. We succeeded; the result of that success is the BaroShear K45 processing system.”
Mr. Schumacher continued: “The CBD market is expected to hit $20 Billion by 2024 (BDS Analytics, 2019). There are currently hundreds upon hundreds of companies in this field. To survive, companies will need to differentiate themselves from the competition by delivering the highest quality products possible. Such products would undoubtedly need to have high water-solubility, absorption, and bioavailability, along with long shelf-life and a minimal amount of added chemicals. This is exactly what we intend to deliver.”
Mr. Schumacher concluded: “We have already begun to pre-sell limited quantities of the BaroShear K45. Units sold over the coming weeks will be delivered and installed in early 2020. We believe that such sales will have a significant impact on 2020 total revenue, potentially resulting in more than twice the total revenue of 2019. We further believe that revenue from our BaroFold platform contract services will continue to increase, and that the decline in PCT platform instrument sales observed over the past two quarters (caused in part by our focus on the development of the BaroShear K45) will end, and that we will see an increase in PCT product sales over the second half of 2019, and beyond.”
