$POAI Closes on $7.4M Registered Direct Offering, Announces Breakthrough Discoveries

Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to personalized medicine and drug discovery, announced that it had closed on its previously announced registered direct offering. The offering, comprised of 4,222,288 shares of POAI common stock sold at $1.75 per share, totaled $7.4 million in gross proceeds for the company, before expenses were deducted. The shares were priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules. The announcement also noted that the company issued a concurrent private placement to the same investors; that placement comprised of unregistered warrants up 2,111,144 shares of common stock, priced at $2 per share. In a second announcement, Predictive Oncology noted that, using TumorGenesis technology, two top researchers have identified breakthrough discoveries in understanding how ovarian cancer cells migrate outside the abdominal cavity, or omentum. TumorGenesis is a wholly owned subsidiary of Predictive Oncology. Conducted by a top-tier laboratory in Massachusetts, the research relied on TumorGenesis media to capture, culture and identify how cells break through the protective lining in the abdomen. The study findings could result in the development of drugs that target against that receptor site of the abdominal lining to effectively bloc the metastasis of re-occurring ovarian cancer. “Both targets of the research aided by TumorGenesis’s technology, blocking the omentum penetration and blocking the enzyme that accelerates a response to PARP treatment, once developed and approved, represent several billion dollars in future revenues for biotech or pharma companies,” said Predictive Oncology CEO Dr. Carl Schwartz in the press release. “Three currently available PARP inhibitors, each becoming resistant to ovarian cancer over time, generate $2.8 billion in revenue for such companies. That is why TumorGenesis is expanding its product lines, offering services, and helping pharma, biotech, and researchers around the world to unravel cancer’s mysteries.”

$NETE President Biden’s EV Plan Faces Implementation Challenges at State Level

President Joe Biden’s first few weeks in office have seen him issue a flurry of executive orders, some that will set the tone for the rest of his presidency. An ambitious plan by the President to help battle climate change would see 500,000 electric vehicle (“EV”) charging stations deployed across the United States by 2030. Via executive order, Biden says he will also replace the U.S. government’s fleet of nearly 650,000 cars with electric models.

The plan has been lauded by environmentalists and renewable energy champions. Transportation accounts for 28% of all carbon emissions in the U.S., more than any other carbon emitter, with light-duty vehicles producing 59% of carbon in the transportation sector. By replacing the government’s massive fleet with electric models and installing half a million chargers across the country, the Biden administration can help cut carbon emissions by a wide margin.

However, great as Biden’s plan may seem, it will face several implementation challenges, especially at the state level. States and cities have differing attitudes towards electric vehicles, with some going to great lengths to boost widespread EV adoption and others slapping EV’s with high registration fees to replace the tax revenues lost due to declining gasoline purchases. Launching such a widespread network of charging stations across state and city lines by 2030 is sure to be a challenge.

California, for instance, has been insanely supportive of the nascent electric vehicle industry and has taken several steps to encourage residents to ditch their old internal-combustion-engine (“ICE”) vehicles for electric vehicles. It is the only state to set deadlines for electrifying heavy trucks, transit buses and commercial vehicles, and it’s the only state to help low-income drivers replace their ICE cars with second-hand EVs. The state also has plans to deploy chargers within economically distressed areas.

According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, other states have done much less to reduce barriers to purchasing EVs. California and states such as Maryland, Colorado and Oregon are offering incentives, setting lower electric rates for charging EVs at certain times and adding more charging options; California scores 91 out of a total of 100 points on the council’s scale. On the other hand, 20 states earned 15 points or less.

According to Car.com, hybrid and EV searches made up less than 1% of its total searches in 2020, a sign that even though the EV industry is making considerable progress, especially with the Biden administration’s support for green energy, there is still a long road to widespread adoption.

An interesting development to follow within the electric vehicle sector is what is happening between Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE), a financial solutions company, and Mullen Technologies Inc., an EV maker. Through a reverse merger, the two companies will soon become one organization.

$MWK Diversifies its E-Commerce Portfolio Through Strategic Acquisition

February 17, 2021

Mohawk Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MWK) Diversifies its E-Commerce Portfolio Through Strategic Acquisition

  • Mohawk Group Holdings Inc. designs, develops, markets, and sells consumer products guided by machine learning, natural language processing, and data analytics
  • Mohawk is on a mission to become the leading e-commerce consumer brands platform
  • The company’s acquisition of Healing Solutions, LLC, itself a leading online seller, heralded Mohawk’s entry into the essential oils sector
  • The acquisition is the latest in a string of similar business moves and is expected to increase MWK’s revenue for the 2021 financial year

Mohawk Group Holdings (NASDAQ: MWK), a growing tech-enabled consumer products company, has continued its quest to become the leading e-commerce consumer brands platform with its latest acquisition of Healing Solutions, LLC. MWK paid approximately $15.3 million in cash in addition to issuing approximately 1.4 million shares of Mohawk’s common stock. On its own, MWK has launched consumer products across four brands, spanning home and kitchen, beauty, consumer electronics, and appliances. Thus, the acquisition heralded its entry into the essential oils’ category.

Healing Solutions is a leading online seller of essential oils whose unaudited trailing-twelve-month revenue and operating income (excluding inventory liquidations) as of October 31, 2020, were approximately $65.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively. Notably, MWK paid an amount equivalent to about 3.8 times Healing Solutions’ trailing-twelve-month operating income. This amount excludes additional considerations in the form of shares allocated towards acquiring the e-commerce platform’s inventory. MWK issued 170,000 shares of its common stock for this purpose, subject to adjustments that would not go beyond 280,000 shares.

The acquisition is expected to bump MWK’s revenue upwards, as indicated by Mohawk’s adjusted outlook for the financial year 2021. MWK expects a net revenue ranging between $340 million and $370 million, up from a range of $290 million to $320 million. The Company guided 2021 Adjusted EBITDA to $28 million to $32 million. It also estimates its net income will range between $1 million and $5 million for the period ending December 31, 2021.

Healing Solutions is the latest in a string of acquisitions, which Yaniv Sarig – Mohawk Group Holdings Inc.’s co-founder and chief executive officer – hails as a step forward in the company’s mission to build the leading e-commerce consumer brands platform. “We are thrilled to enter the essential oils category, which further diversifies our e-commerce portfolio of brands. Consumable products with recurring purchases and subscription revenue opportunities that complement our hard goods brands have been on our radar.” Yaniv stated in a news release announcing the acquisition (https://ibn.fm/pYysW).

Yaniv regarded the calculated strategy “to create a supply chain and technology platform designed to operate e-commerce brands across a wide spectrum of categories at scale” as one that was continuing to bear fruit. In late 2020, MWK announced the accretive acquisition of four e-commerce brands, namely Pohl and Schmitt, Spiralizer, Mueller, and Pursteam, adding 43 new products to its portfolio (https://ibn.fm/vzT8w).

Although the CEO claimed that the company was still in the early stages of executing its ambitious goals of becoming a market leader, Mohawk Group Holdings Inc. looks poised to achieve them sooner rather than later.

In addition, the company has announced a live interview with Mohawk Group Co-Founder & CEO Yaniv Sarig (https://ibn.fm/pz2Vu).

$CLXPF Rise In Consumer Acceptance of Psychedelic Drug Therapies Is Quickly Increasing

Palm Beach, FL – February 17, 2021 – Psychedelics are making their way out of the counterculture and back into the mainstream, with research and media interest in the mind-altering substances growing substantially. Some have even called psychedelics “psychiatry’s brave new world.” The revitalization of psychedelics has occurred alongside a shift away from the research and development of traditional psychiatric medications by leading pharmaceutical companies. A report from Data Bridge Market Research reported that the global psychedelic drugs market is rising gradually with a healthy CAGR in the forecast period of 2019-2026. Growing prevalence of depression worldwide and increase in special designation from the regulatory authorities to the company to expedite the development process are the key factors for market growth.  It said that: “Psychedelic drugs market is growing due to increase in prevalence of depression worldwide, increase special designation from the regulatory authority; the effects of these factors are: Increase in prevalence of depression worldwide Psychedelic drugs are used for the treatment of different variants of depression and other clinical indications, although the major focus is on the treatment of depression and other different types of mental disorders. This is due to their capability of invoking consciousness changes by altering the visual and auditory functioning of the consumers.”  Active companies in the markets this week include: Mind Cure Health Inc. (OTCQB: MCURF) (CSE: MCUR), MindMed (OTCQB: MMEDF) (NEO: MMED), Numinus Wellness Inc (OTCPK: LKYSF) (TSX-V: NUMI), Cybin Inc. (OTCPK: CLXPF) (NEO: CYBN), Field Trip Health Ltd (OTCPK: FTRPF) (CSE: FTRP).

Data Bridge Market Research continued : “Therefore, the growing volume of depression in patients is directly affecting the market’s potential for growth; and Increase special designation from the regulatory authority: Another important factor behind the market’s high growth potential is the different regional authorities providing specialized designation to these drug categories helping streamline the approval process by providing the specific requirements required from the drug for its approval in a timelier manner.  With the focus of authorities to work alongside specialized research organizations and pharmaceutical manufacturers to reduce the time required for the development and commercialization of psychedelic drugs for the treatment of different indications. These partnerships between different authorities and market players are resulting in quicker drug developments, product approvals and subsequent commercialization helping solve a clinically unmet need of different patients.”

Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR.CNQ) (OTCQB: MCURF) BREAKING NEWS: Mind Cure Engages Dr. Dan Engle as Primary Investigator for Research in Traumatic Brain Injury with Psychedelics – Celebrated neurologist, psychiatrist and plant-medicine expert Dr. Dan Engle brings years of understanding of psychedelic medicine into research with Mind Cure – Mind Cure Health Inc is pleased to announce the engagement of Dr. Dan Engle as Mind Cure’s Primary Investigator Consultant.

“Clinical studies on psilocybin and other plant-based psychedelic compounds have shown that they have great potential to produce profoundly positive changes in individuals, particularly those struggling from serious mental health conditions like anorexia, depression and PTSD,” said Dr. Nathan Bryson, Field Trip’s Chief Science Officer. “With the opening of this facility, Field Trip and UWI will be leaders in the understanding of psilocybin-producing fungi and how they can be best utilized in a treatment setting.”

Research at the Facility will be led by Rupika Delgoda, Professor of Biochemical Pharmacology & Pharmacognosy and Director of the Natural Products Institute at UWI, who holds a D.Phil. from Oxford University (UK) in Pharmacology.

$BRSF Signs Memorandum of Understanding with $EHVVF to Map Brain Response

Brain Scientific (OTCQB: BRSF), a commercial-stage, health-care company with two FDA-cleared products, has entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MoU”) with Ehave, Inc. (OTC: EHVVF), a provider of digital therapeutics for the psychedelic and mental health sectors. The agreement calls for the two companies to work together to map brain response to psychedelics being administered as a treatment for chronic pain, depressions (both major and persistent), post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, general anxiety, ADHD and schizophrenia. The two companies will also collaborate in the development of neural net algorithms for the mental-health sector. BRSF’s e-tattoo technology will be used to provide continuous monitoring in the studies. According to the announcement, the MoU calls for Ehave to integrate Brain Scientific’s NeuroCap and NeuroEEG to obtain data from patients in real time; Ehave may also use the two devices in clinical settings with Ehave’s partner healthcare providers in order to gather data about the electrophysiological changes in brain pre-, mid- and post-psychedelic drug administration. Initial plans indicate the collection research could start in Australia and then be implemented in other areas. The research and data will be jointly owned by both Ehave and Brain Scientific. “Our current EEG device is about the size of a stamp,” said Brain Scientific chairman Boris Goldstein in the press release. “By shrinking the technology, the system allows for continuous measurement during a person’s normal activities, while providing a non-intrusive way to monitor various disorders. We believe the future of EEG testing will be centered around the ability to gather more precise data through non-invasive measures of the brain via 3D temporary imprint or implanted graphene electrodes. By utilizing graphene, which has been called a ‘wonder material of the 21st century,’ Brain Scientific believes the size of the electrodes can be thinner than a human hair and will allow brain activity monitoring with minimal distraction from everyday life.”

$WTER Reports Record Fiscal Third Quarter Revenue of $10.2 Million

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the “Company”) is a producer of bottled alkaline drinking water, flavor-infused waters, and CBD infused products sold under the brand name Alkaline88 ® , A88™, and A88CBD™, respectively. Today, the Company announces that revenue increased $1.7 million year-over-year to $10.2 million for the fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Key Highlights:

  • Fiscal 2021 third-quarter record revenue of $10.2 million increased 20% year-over-year.
  • Fiscal 2021 third-quarter earnings per share of ($0.06) improved by 14.3% compared to the prior-year quarter, of which ($0.01) was related to non-cash expenses.
  • Direct Store Delivery (DSD) network now reaches over 10,000 customers.
  • A88CBD™ line expands national distribution network with KeHE, UNFI, BettermentRS, and broker C.A. Fortune.

“We are proud to announce that we delivered record fiscal third quarter revenue of $10.2 million. Our E-Commerce, A88CBD, single-serve offerings, eco-friendly aluminum bottles, and flavor-infused waters all contributed toward the record. Each business line continues to grow, and we expect a significant contribution from them over the next 12 months,” stated Ricky Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “We are excited that the momentum we gained over the summer in our flagship brand Alkaline88 continues. Based on 13 week Nielsen scanner data ending 12/26/20, we continue to be the fastest-growing top 10 value-added water in the country. We outperform the category volume growth by almost 2 times and the unit growth by over 5 times. We are now the 8 th largest vendor in the category. We see continued strength in the 1/23/21 Nielsen scanner data as well.”

“We believe that the strategic actions we have taken this year position us for strong growth and anticipate solid returns from the investments we are making in the coming fiscal year. Since the end of the quarter, we are working tirelessly on several initiatives. These include expanding our DSD strategy in strategic regions. The expansion plans should allow us to reach an additional 40,000 to 80,000 customers in the all-important convenience store channels. Based on the changing shopping habits of consumers, we have allocated additional resources to our E-Commerce and digital marketing strategies both in the water and CBD categories. We have tested and will expand on programs that have shown extraordinary ROI’s in our test markets. By expanding our outlays to these water and CBD initiatives, we expect to drive a significant amount of sales through both our E-Commerce sites in fiscal 2022. Our products will also be supported by our first-ever traditional marketing campaign led by the Davis Elen agency.”

“With the change in administration in Washington, we are hopeful that we will finally get clear guidance nationwide for our A88CBD products. In anticipation of this, we expanded our retail distribution network for our A88CBD products through KeHE, UNFI, BettermentRS, and C.A. Fortune. We continue to leverage our existing relationships to penetrate the brick-and-mortar retailers with our A88CBD products and expect to be in thousands of stores in the coming months.”

“On the operational side, we are in the process of expanding our domestic capacity for our raw materials and increased finished goods. We will be announcing new plants and new raw material providers that should increase our overall capacity and positively impact our gross margins. These initiatives will support all aspects of the anticipated growth in E-Commerce, A88CBD, Alkaline88 single-serve offerings, Alkaline88 eco-friendly aluminum bottles, and Alkaline88 flavor-infused waters.”

“In addition to increasing our gross margins and capacity, they will significantly decrease our carbon footprint as our new vendors will be closer to our existing plants. Since inception, we have focused on having the smallest carbon footprint per liter of any major water brand. In the past 52 weeks, we have taken major steps in reducing our carbon footprint. We have already begun to include 25% recycled PET in our bulk sizes. We continue to focus on sustainability throughout our new initiatives, as demonstrated by being the first national water company with an aluminum bottle. We are a Clean Beverage™ company and care about not only what goes into our products but what we can do to minimize our impact on the environment.”

“These and other initiatives, including international expansion and the rebounding hospitality industry, should contribute to significant revenue growth in fiscal 2022. Our Company and its operations are well-positioned to be an omnichannel lifestyle brand in fiscal 2022.”

Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains “forward-looking statements.” Statements in this news release that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations, or intentions regarding the future. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the following: that the Company expects a significant contribution from each business line over the next 12 months; that the Company believes that the strategic actions the Company has taken this year position the Company for strong growth and anticipate solid returns from the investments the Company is making in the coming fiscal year; that the expansion plans should allow the Company to reach an additional 40,000 to 80,000 customers in the all-important convenience store channels; that the Company will expand on programs that have shown extraordinary ROI’s in its test markets; that the Company expects to drive a significant amount of sales through both its E-Commerce sites in fiscal 2022; that the Company is hopeful that it will finally get clear guidance nationwide for its A88CBD products; that the Company expects that its A88CBD products to be in thousands of stores in the coming months; that new plants and new raw material providers that the Company will announce should increase the Company’s overall capacity and positively impact the Company’s gross margins and these initiatives will support all aspects of the anticipated growth in E-Commerce, A88CBD, Alkaline88 single-serve offerings, Alkaline88 eco-friendly aluminum bottles, and Alkaline88 flavor-infused waters and they will significantly decrease the Company’s carbon footprint as the Company’s new vendors will be closer to the Company’s existing plants; that these and other initiatives, including international expansion and the rebounding hospitality industry, should contribute to significant revenue growth in fiscal 2022; that the Company and its operations are well-positioned to be an omnichannel lifestyle brand in fiscal 2022 and the Company’s target goal to reach approximately 25,000 convenience stores.

The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking statements include, among others, that the demand for the Company’s products will continue to significantly grow; that the past production capacity of the Company’s co-packing facilities can be maintained or increased; that there will be increased production capacity through implementation of new production facilities, new co-packers and new technology; that there will be an increase in number of products available for sale to retailers and consumers; that there will be an expansion in geographical areas by national retailers carrying the Company’s products; that there will be an expansion into new national and regional grocery retailers; that there will be an expansion into new e-commerce, home delivery, convenience, and healthy food channels; that there will not be interruptions on production of the Company’s products; that there will not be a recall of products due to unintended contamination or other adverse events relating to the Company’s products; and that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital to meet the Company’s growing demand and satisfy the capital expenditure requirements needed to increase production and support sales activity. Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors include, among others, governmental regulations being implemented regarding the production and sale of alkaline water or any other products, including products containing hemp/CBD; the fact that consumers may not embrace and purchase any of the Company’s CBD-infused products; the fact that the Company may not be permitted by the FDA or other regulatory authority to market or sell any of its CBD-infused products; additional competitors selling alkaline water and enhanced water products in bulk containers reducing the Company’s sales; the fact that the Company does not own or operate any of its production facilities and that co-packers may not renew current agreements and/or not satisfy increased production quotas; the fact that the Company has a limited number of suppliers of its unique bulk bottles; the potential for supply-chain interruption due to factors beyond the Company’s control; the fact that there may be a recall of products due to unintended contamination; the inherent uncertainties associated with operating as an early stage company; changes in customer demand and the fact that consumers may not embrace enhanced water products as expected or at all; the extent to which the Company is successful in gaining new long-term relationships with new retailers and retaining existing relationships with retailers; the Company’s ability to raise the additional funding that it will need to continue to pursue its business, planned capital expansion and sales activity; and competition in the industry in which the Company operates and market conditions. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and Canada.

Second, the online sales channel can provide us a much greater degree of insight into the tendencies and preferences of smokers aged 21+ who purchase TAAT directly from us. Additionally, by selling directly to our customer base, we expect we will be able to maintain some very favorable profit margins. . . . By combining our online sales with initiatives that are currently being led by CROSSMARK to place TAAT in convenience store points of sale across the country, I believe we are in a very good position to capture additional market share at a much faster rate.”

$SRAX Sequire Platform Provides Exclusive Access to B. Riley Vision Day Content; Company Announces Closing on BIGtoken Transaction

February 16, 2021
  • As host to B. Riley’s Securities’ 2021 Vision Day, SRAX offers event content to Sequire community
  • SRAX CEO states that B. Riley event is “perfect example of our growing Virtual Event Platform capabilities”
  • Definitive agreement between SRAX-created BIGtoken, FPVD closes

SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a financial technology company that unlocks data and insights for publicly traded companies through Sequire, its SaaS platform, concluded its role as the exclusive technology host for B. Riley Securities’ 2021 Vision Day (https://ibn.fm/D7R3c); sessions from the event are available exclusively to B. Riley clients and investors on the Sequire platform. The company also announced that its BIGtoken platform closed on its share exchange agreement with Force Protection Video Equipment Corporation (OTC: FPVD), making BIG a public company through the reverse merger transaction (https://ibn.fm/ir6ii).

The prestigious B. Riley Vision Day event was held on the Sequire Virtual Events platform, thereby allowing the Sequire community privileged access to sessions and content. The daylong virtual investor conference included video presentations and fireside chats discussing the top stock picks from B. Riley’s award-winning equity research team. All the sessions are available exclusively to B. Riley clients and investors who register at BRiley.mysequire.com.

“We were honored to have been selected by B. Riley Securities to host its 2021 Vision Day event, following our success with the LD Micro Main Event in December,” said SRAX founder and CEO Christopher Miglino. “This event is a perfect example of our growing Virtual Event Platform capabilities. We were pleased to work with the B. Riley team and contribute to another successful event.

Other big news for SRAX is the closing of the previously announced share exchange transaction between SRAX-created BIGtoken and Force Protection Video Equipment Corporation (OTC: FPVD). Initially announced on Sept. 30, 2020, the definite agreement outlined plans for SRAX to receive 88.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of FPVD in exchange for 100% of the shares of BIGtoken. The agreement also noted that upon completion of the transaction, FPVD would be renamed BIGtoken with Lou Kerner appointed CEO (https://ibn.fm/Z2Sa3).

“Lou has been working with data and internet startups his entire career,” said Miglino. “He has a detailed understanding of Blockchain and how it is applied to augment business applications. Blockchain will play a big part in the future of consumer identity and privacy, and we have a shared vision with Lou on what this will look like. Not only is Lou a technology expert, but his knowledge of the capital markets will be a significant asset to BIGtoken as the company is uplisted to a nationally listed exchange.”

SRAX is currently focused on unlocking data and insights through its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, Sequire. Launched as a standalone platform in early 2020, Sequire now has more than 3 million investors and traders, with an estimated 91 publicly listed companies as subscribers. The explosion in growth is driven by Sequire’s extensive range of services and as companies have increasingly sought to adopt digital technology and the data generated from such mediums as a way of improving their engagement with customers and stakeholders alike.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund expansion, to continue to develop a user app, to evaluate and pursue potential strategic acquisitions, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Closing is currently expected to be on or about March 11, 2021 or such other date as agreed upon between the Company and the Agent, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the execution of an agency agreement and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval of the CSE.

MustGrow, an agriculture biotech company focused on providing natural science-based biological solutions for high-value crops such as fruits and vegetables, is focused on providing natural, science-based biological solutions to replace synthetic chemicals in the cultivation process.

MustGrow’s safe and effective organic biopesticide is plant based; it uses a natural defense mechanism found in the mustard seed to control diseases, pests and weeds. In a recent round of tests, which were conducted by an independent third-party lab, MustGrow’s patented mustard-derived biopesticide achieved 100% control over Aphanomyces euteiches zoospores (Aphanomyces) within 24 hours and at economic application rates.

“It is great to see MustGrow’s mustard plant-based biopesticide continue to perform, particularly with 100% disease control measured at exceptionally low application rates,” said MustGrow COO Colin Bletsky. “The level of control of hard-to-kill diseases we continue to achieve combined with the beneficial properties of our product for soil health provide a great opportunity for improved yields for farmers and a more robust food supply. I am very hopeful that we can potentially provide a valuable crop-protection tool for pulse crop farmers.”

Aphanomyces is a soil-borne, root-rot disease that destroys peas, lentils and legume crops, commonly referred to as pulse crops. In infected fields, the disease can result in yield losses ranging from 10% to 100% complete destruction. The ability to control the disease using an organic, plant-based biopesticide could have a significant impact on the harvests of farmers seeking to eradicate the disease.

For instance, in 2019 Canada produced 9.2 million tons of pulse crops, making it one of the world’s largest producers. One study reported that Aphanomyces caused $20 million in annual pulse crop losses in Canada and $100 million worldwide. Currently the only available treatments slow down the spread in an attempt to reduce the severity of the disease; no treatments exist that control the devastating root-rot plague. MustGrow’s plant-based biopesticide aims to change that.

With the most recent lab results in, MustGrow is now looking forward to evaluating its proprietary product in larger-scale greenhouse and field tests. MustGrow’s biopesticide is applied to the soil before crops are planted. The greenhouse and field tests are a significant step forward in the progression and preparation of the product for commercial use and application.

This agriculture biotech company, which is focused on providing natural science-based biological solutions for high-value crops such as fruits and vegetables, appears poised to leverage the growing momentum favoring alternatives to synthetic chemicals. As global agriculture looks to move closer to sustainable ways of boosting yields and crop protection, MustGrow continues to position itself as an essential part of the food landscape of the future with its mustard plant-based biopesticide.

$KAVL Announces Packaging Revisions Project Completion, Positive Q1 2021 Expectations

Kaival Brands (OTCQB: KAVL), a company focused on generating shareholder value by incubating innovative products into mature and dominant brands within their respective markets, has noted that a Q4 project involving a redesign of Bidi(R) Vapor LLC’s packaging and labeling for its entire product line has been completed. The redesign decision was made as the Bidi company opted to meet and exceed the FDA’s proposed guidelines for all of its product, which meant the company halted production of its products until the project was finished. Kaival is the exclusive global distributor of all products manufactured by Bidi Vapor, including the Bidi(R)Stick, which is the fastest-growing closed system vaping product in the United States. KAVL also recently launched the Bidi(R)Pouch, a tobacco-free nicotine pouch available in six flavors. During Q4, Kaival was limited in the volume of products available because of the redesign project, which included changing the names of the product suite to nondescriptive, one-word monikers and bolstering safety and hazard warnings on product packaging. The announcement noted that, as a result of the redesign project, KAVL experienced significant loss in revenue opportunity during Q4 2020; however, with the project completed, the company has successfully restarted its sales and marketing process with revenues tracking close to $40 million. “It should be understood, that under no circumstance will Kaival Brands distribute, market, promote, or sell any product that would have deleterious consequences to the community and APPI guidelines,” said Kaival Brands CEO Niraj Patel in the press release. “We have created a premium experience assisting current adult cigarette smokers age 21 and older to choose alternative options to traditional, combustible cigarettes. Kaival Brands will never behave in a manner that compromises health or the environment.”

$CLXPF Psilocybin Extracts Could Be the Key to Unlocking Psychedelic Health and Wellness

FN Media Group Presents Microsmallcap.com Market Commentary

New York, NY – February 16, 2021 – Psychedelics have made some spectacular breakthroughs to gain legitimacy as mental healthcare products and to become an emerging health and wellness market of its own. As these products enter the regulated consumer market, however, it’s important that they are reliably and accurately dosed to ensure user health and safety. Accurate dosing is difficult to achieve with botanicals, which is why forward-thinking psychedelics companies are developing new extracted products designed for the most accurate dosing possible. These innovative products include oral tablets, capsules, nasal gels, and more. Forward thinking companies like Pure Extracts (CSE: PULL) (OTCPK: PRXTF), Compass Pathways (NASDAQ: CMPS), Cybin Inc (NEO: CYBN) (OTCPK: CLXPF), AIkido Pharma Inc (NASDAQ: AIKI), and Numinus Wellness (TSXV: NUMI) (OTCPK: LKYSF) are advancing psychedelic medicine with research and development into the best ways to administer these revolutionary treatments.

Pure Extracts Developing State-of-the-Art Psychedelics Extracts

Pure Extracts (CSE:PULL) (OTC:PRXTF) is a Canadian company specializing in functional mushrooms and psychedelics with extensive extraction and production experience. The Company utilizes cutting-edge, sub and super-critical CO ² and ethanol extraction technology to produce high-quality, high purity formulations on a commercial scale. As psychedelic health and wellness continues its development, Pure Extracts is set up to deliver solvent-free, white-label formulations to service contract sales.

Pure Extracts conducts its extraction at its state-of-the-art facility in Pemberton, British Columbia, located 30 kms north of famed Whistler Resort. The facility is built to EU-GMP specifications, allowing for certification so that the Company will be able to sell its products internationally. On December 16, Pure Extracts announced that the Company had begun to build-out the fourth unit in its facility. This unit is specifically designed for extraction of mushrooms and for research and development of psilocybin. Pure Extracts is currently preparing its application for a Health Canada Dealer’s Licence under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which will allow the company to produce, distribute, and sell psilocybin products.

On December 30, Pure Extracts announced the commencement of a new study on the formulation and manufacturing of psilocybin-based active treatments for oral tablets, capsules, and a nasal gel. Conducted at the Toronto Institute of Pharmaceutical Technology by Dr. Alexander MacGregor, the study will focus on formulating, manufacturing, and clinical bioavailability testing of rapid onset psilocybin dosage forms that could be used in future efficacy clinical trials by both Pure Extracts and its pharmaceutical customers.

“We are excited about the R&D progress we are going to make with TIPT over the next six to eight months while waiting to receive our Dealer’s License from Health Canada,” Pure Extracts CEO Ben Nikolaevsky said in the Company’s release. “We will be well prepared for our move into the controlled substances world of psychedelics and will have advanced knowledge regarding psilocybin and its associated novel delivery mechanisms.”

Biotech Space Develops Extracted Psychedelic Therapeutics

Compass Pathways (NASDAQ:CMPS) sent shockwaves through the psychedelics space last year when it became the first psychedelics company to list on a major US exchange with its listing on the NASDAQ. The company has continued its research and development into psychedelics, announcing on February 9 the expansion of its Discovery Center and research collaborations with three of the world’s most eminent scientists in psychedelic research.

In the fight towards therapeutic breakthroughs for mental health disorders, Cybin Inc (NEO:CYBN) (OTC:CLXPF) has entered into a partnership with Kernel to utilize its Kernel Flow technology to quantify brain activity during psychedelic experiences. Cybin believes that this clinical work could help to fill in the gaps for targeting neurological disorders.

Diversified biotechnology company AIkido Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:AIKI) announced in January that the company had executed a patent license agreement for technology related to psilocybin for cancer treatment and treatment of cancer side-effects. AIkido has been focused on small-molecule anti-cancer therapeutics for decades and the company’s CEO says that they believe psychedelics to be an expanding area of treatment.

On February 8, psychedelic-focused mental health and wellness company Numinus Wellness (TSXV:NUMI) (OTCPK:LKYSF) completed its acquisition of Montreal-based full-service well-being organization Mindspace Psychology Services Inc. The company describes Mindspace as “a leader and pioneer in psychedelic programming.”

Psychedelics could be the future of health and wellness, and extracted products like those developed by Pure Extracts could be key to unlocking the safe and reliable therapeutic benefits of these products.

$CNPOF Shareholders Approve Plan of Arrangement with Canopy Growth

TORONTO Feb. 16, 2021  – Canopy Rivers Inc. (” Rivers ” or the ” Company “) (TSX: RIV) (OTC: CNPOF) is pleased to announce that its shareholders voted today to approve the previously announced plan of arrangement (the ” Arrangement “) involving Canopy Growth Corporation (” Canopy Growth “) (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ: CGC).

Approximately 99.87% of the votes cast by Rivers’ shareholders were voted in favour of the Arrangement, including approximately 99.85% of the votes cast by Rivers’ shareholders other than Canopy Growth, whose votes were required to be excluded pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions . Approval was required from at least (i) two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Subordinated Voting Shares (” SVS “), voting separately as a class; (ii) two-thirds of the votes cast by Canopy Growth, as the sole holder of all of the Multiple Voting Shares (” MVS “), voting separately as a class; and (iii) a simple majority of votes cast by holders of SVS, voting separately as a class, excluding the votes attaching to the SVS held by Canopy Growth.

“We are thrilled by both the high voting turnout and the tremendous support we received for the Arrangement,” said Narbe Alexandrian, President and CEO, Rivers. “We believe that this deal provides substantial value to shareholders, which was highlighted by the overwhelming support we received today. We look forward to delivering on this vote of confidence as we execute on our new strategy focused on opportunities in the U.S. market.”

Right of First Refusal in respect of the Vert Mirabel Shares

The Company also announced today that Les Serres Stéphane Bertrand Inc. (” Serres Bertrand “) has exercised its right of first refusal to purchase its proportionate interest of the common shares (the ” ROFR Shares “) in Les Serres Vert Cannabis Inc. (” Vert Mirabel “) from Rivers, which was triggered as a result of the Arrangement.

Accordingly, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, RIV Capital Corporation (formerly Canopy Rivers Corporation) (” RCC “), has entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the ” Share Purchase Agreement “) with Serres Bertrand in respect of the ROFR Shares, pursuant to which RCC will sell to Serres Bertrand 117 ROFR Shares, representing 11.7% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Vert Mirabel, for cash consideration of approximately $3.4 million (the ” ROFR Transaction “).

The ROFR Transaction is expected to be completed on the same day as the Arrangement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions in favour of RCC, including the deposit by Serres Bertrand of the cash consideration, and the consummation of the Arrangement. The Company expects that both the Arrangement and the ROFR Transaction will close prior to the end of February.

The ROFR Transaction will result in a downward adjustment to the number of common shares of Canopy Growth that RCC will receive pursuant to the Arrangement by approximately 103,000 shares, such that RCC will now receive approximately 3.65 million common shares of Canopy Growth. The remaining shares of Vert Mirabel held by RCC will be transferred to Canopy Growth pursuant to the Arrangement. If the conditions to completion of the ROFR Transaction are not satisfied, all of the ROFR Shares will be transferred to Canopy Growth as part of the Arrangement.

$AMST Essential E-Learning Ecosystems Move to the Head of the Class

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, the trend toward digital online learning in both education and business was growing at a steady pace. As the pandemic surged, tens of millions were forced to work from home and college classrooms were shuttered, and the trend turned to a tsunami, leaving many businesses completely unprepared for the new normal. Now both the present and the future of learning and work has moved online, and whole ecosystems must move to e-learning to survive. Demand has surged for customized and scalable online learning products in a single, easy-to-use format. This is the sweet spot for Amesite Inc(NASDAQ: AMST) (Profile), an award-winning artificial intelligence (“AI”) software company that delivers online learning ecosystems for business, higher education and K-12. Amesite’s product portfolio is complemented by a robust suite of services that help partners implement new programs and improve existing ones. Most recently, Amesite introduced Manage, a creative new functionality that enables schools and businesses to efficiently build and customize new courses, or onboard existing ones, at their own pace. In September, Amesite completed its initial public offering, joining peers such as 2U Inc. (NASDAQ: TWOU), Stride Inc. (NYSE: LRN)Chegg Inc. (NYSE: CHGG) and Pluralsight Inc. (NASDAQ: PS) that strive to improve learning environments with their technology and services.

  • Amesite platform reports a remarkable 98% retention across enterprise, higher education and K-12 programs.
  • Amesite’s new Manage feature allows organizations to develop, establish and administer as many courses as they wish — all in one place and on the same system.
  • The company offers essential tools for educating staffers about crucial trends, such as AI, Blockchain, data analytics, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles and smart cities.

Recognizing the Need, Providing the Solution

Business and education have historically been conducted in person and offline, in offices and in classrooms. That dynamic has certainly changed. Among other things, 2020 taught the world that many interactions can be efficiently and effectively accomplished in a virtual format. One of the biggest impediments to more rapid uptake is that workforces are unprepared to learn online. Sure, Zoom and other communication platforms serve a purpose, but these aren’t the type of comprehensive platforms that will properly shepherd in the next generation of educating people in a process that is easily accessible, affordable and  engaging.

To achieve education transformation, technology must be able to easily address both new and legacy programs. Gone are the days of “one size fits all” video cassette sessions or, even worse, wasting money on printed material to provide information. People simply don’t learn, retain or have the opportunity to excel under those moribund modalities. Furthermore, there’s a necessity today to be able to teach a multiplicity of individual complexities such as safety and compliance Issues or new skills in data management delivered digitally and customizable in a single ecosystem with the ability to track and enhance efficacy.

Easing into the Digital Age

Amesite Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST) was founded for the exact purpose of overcoming these challenges and bring businesses, schools and universities easily into the digital age. Dedicated to improving the way the world learns, passion and technology drive Amesite, with the whole team committed to ensuring that education is accessible to all. Not just accessible, Amesite is intent on making education better, making teacher’s jobs easier and encouraging engagement, which is when the best learning transpires. Considering that COVID-19 caused the loss of between 500 million and 1 billion school years worldwide, the value of  Amesite’s platform becomes obvious.

Online education will almost certainly co-exist with traditional in-class learning even on the other side of the pandemic. “Online learning has the potential to transform all of education, and online tools are crucial for supporting all kinds of learning,” stated Amesite CEO Ann Marie Sastry. “Online offers flexibility, engagement and customization for students. Most importantly – it’s often the only practical way that professionals can upskill. So it’s absolutely essential that the best technology be deployed, to support growth for individuals and for enterprises.”

Tech Teaches

Amesite builds and delivers unique artificial-intelligence software products designed to improve learning across any industry or educational discipline. For business, AMST provides a single, easy-to-use platform for compliance and training that increases productivity and up-to-date certifications. Amesite couples this success with best-in-class analytics to analyze trends with 24/7 dashboards and autogenerated daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports. With Amesite, businesses may gain invaluable insights that go beyond teaching and training employees. They can track employee progress and obtain insight on course corrections that work, break down analytics at multiple levels, and make data-based decisions while teaching employees with actionable, real-time analytics.

In K-12 education, Amesite’s technology and focus on the user experience help solve the key challenges in K-12 learning. Stale, outdated interface design and complicated multiclick platforms can be boring and confusing for students and teachers. Amesite’s social-media-inspired interface attracts and engages students. Updated content keeps education fresh and engaging, allowing instructors and students to interact with each other using upvotes and endorsements. The platform also delivers first-class communication tools with built-in video conferencing and messaging functionality and intuitive interface design.

In addition, AMST offers AI-driven, out-of-the-box scalable solutions for higher education.  Universities and other higher education facilities can reduce training times — often to zero minutes — with intuitive interface design and transition effortlessly with full vendor support from Amesite. Amesite provides custom-branded turnkey programs on a cutting-edge learning platform.

Amesite provides universities, businesses and K-12 schools with essential tools to launch the products they need to upskill students and staff in whatever the core curriculum may be in a key trend, and it does so in a way that learning can go on at anytime, anywhere.

Empowering Learning

Amesite continues to demonstrate product excellence in creating and launching courses and programs tailored to its partners across diverse sectors. The company’s new Manage feature now allows organizations to develop, establish and administer as many courses as they wish — all in one place and on the same system. Manage is a category maker that empowers learning and development teams to launch with a solution for the whole company rather than a single course covering one topic or an unfamiliar new platform for existing materials. In fact, the ease of use may be unprecedented. Customers can create offerings using a “build-as-you-go, drop-and-drag” format, taking full advantage of the flexibility to customize and build as time allows. Plus, the AMST system’s architecture allows for easy management as well as tracking new and existing programs without leaving the program.

Amesite’s technology and passion support critical workforce goals such as high engagement, low turnover and high loyalty. It’s not a tremendous surprise that AMST products deliver a remarkably high retention rate. The retention rate is an astounding 98% across all its enterprise, higher education and K-12 programs.

Amesite offers the passion, products and service that wins and keeps customers, while making a positive impact on communities worldwide.

The New Age Is Here

There was a growing movement towards digital learning long before anyone had even thought about a COVID-19 pandemic. As it unfolded, a seismic shift occurred for education and businesses to stay operational, a dramatic transition that quite possibly reshaped culture forever and certainly changed the way the world learns. A new sector seems to have developed around the new normal in education.

2U Inc. (NASDAQ: TWOU) operates under a mission to eliminate the back row in higher education, building, delivering and supporting more than 475 digital educational offerings, including undergraduate and graduate degrees, professional certificates, Trilogy-powered boot camps and GetSmarter short courses. This month, the company partnered with the Institute for Management Development, a Swiss-based academic institution with global reach created by business executives for business executives, to expand online programs.

Stride Inc. (NYSE: LRN) is active in philanthropies with a mission centered on reimagining learning as a lifelong and deeply personal experience. The company provides innovative, high-quality, tech-enabled education solutions, curriculum and programs directly to students, schools, the military, and enterprises in primary, secondary and postsecondary settings. The company has learners in all 50 U.S. states and more than 100 countries. COVID was a boon for business, with revenue during the third quarter surging 46% year over year to reach $376.1 million.

Chegg Inc. (NYSE: CHGG) operates under the mantra of “A Smarter Way to Student(R),” striving to improve educational outcome by putting the student first. The company came into the national spotlight more than a decade ago when it acquired “Shark Tank” participant Notehall, an online marketplace where students can buy and sell class notes, ultimately incorporating it into the Chegg Homework Help site. In general, Chegg’s business is all about supporting students through high school to college and into careers by helping them succeed in classes through services available online 24/7/365. Like Stride, Chegg caught investors’ attention with a jump in revenue during the coronavirus economy, which resulted in raising 2021 guidance.

Pluralsight Inc.’s (NASDAQ: PS) Skills unit helps enterprises build technology skills at scale with expert-authored courses on today’s most important technologies including cloud, artificial intelligence and machine learning, data science, and security among others. The Skills product also include tools to align skill development with business objectives, virtual instructor-led training, hands-on labs, skill assessments and one-of-a-kind analytics. Flow complements Skills by providing engineering teams with actionable data and visibility into workflow patterns to accelerate the delivery of products and services.

Common threads run through what these companies, which are leaders in the new normal education sector, are doing. Technology is imperative to provide individuals, institutions and businesses the tools that they need to teach or learn on demand. As Amesite’s Sastry indicated, digital education isn’t going anywhere when the pandemic is a thing of the past. In fact, it is probably only going to become even more mainstream.

$XPHYF Development on Nasal Spray That Protects Against Common Cold, Coronavirus

Research on a new drug that prepares the respiratory tract immune system against infection and is currently being developed for the coronavirus has also shown its efficacy against rhinovirus. Rhinovirus is a common respiratory infection that is responsible for aggravating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma. This respiratory virus is also the primary cause of the common cold.

The researchers found that treatment with the drug INNA-X before getting infected by the rhinovirus suppressed harmful inflammation and significantly decreased viral load.

Associate professor Nathan Bartlett of the Hunter Medical Research Institute and the University of Newcastle led the study. He explained that INNA-X had demonstrated great potential as a new method of protecting individuals from ailments caused by rhinovirus and other common respiratory viruses. These ailments include possibly life-threatening aggravations of chronic respiratory illnesses, which cost the world economy billions of dollars annually to the common cold.

Bartlett stated that the reports on the INNA-X treatment decreasing the level of viruses in a respiratory tract were found to be consistent even with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes the coronavirus. The study also assessed the influence of INNA-X on airway cells in asthma patients and discovered that the treatment was effective, thus giving the researchers a logical basis for the use of the INNA-X treatment in at-risk populations.

An Australian biotechnology firm, Ena Respiratory developed the INNA-X treatment. The treatment works by revitalizing the first line of defense against invading respiratory virus pathogens into the body: the natural immune system in the airways. Priming the immune system makes it harder for the viruses to gain control over an individual’s immune system and give rise to severe symptoms while spreading.

The INNA-X treatment has demonstrated its effectiveness in human airway cells and preclinical infection models. The treatment has also demonstrated its efficacy in decreasing virus shedding of the SARS-CoV-2. INNA-051, which is a clinical candidate produced by the same biotech firm, will soon commence human trials in Australia.

Bartlett stated that if the treatment is found to be effective, it could be used by high-risk populations, including asthma patients and the elderly, to decrease the extremity of the coronavirus, rhinovirus and other respiratory virus infections together with the vaccine approach.

Hunter Medical Research Institute is a collaboration between the community, Hunter New England Health and the University of Newcastle. The study was reported in the “European Respiratory Journal.

Other companies are also doing their part to take the biomedical sector to a higher level. For example, XPhyto Therapeutics Corp. (CSE: XPHY) (OTCQB: XPHYF) (FSE: 4XT) has a portable and rapid PCR diagnostic test that, once approved, will dramatically reduce the turnaround time for COVID-19 tests.

$TOBAF Featured in Seeking Alpha Article

TAAT(TM) (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQB: TOBAF) (FRANKFURT: 2TP2) today announced that it has received new media coverage with a well-known finance publication, after a feature in Forbes on Feb. 3, 2021. According to the update, a Feb. 11 blog article published on Seeking Alpha discusses recent patterns in the consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) industry, in which analogues to popular product types ( e.g. , meat, alcohol) have gained market share seemingly due to the element of choice they provide to consumers. The article notes that the company’s flagship product TAAT(TM) appears to fit into this pattern as an alternative to tobacco cigarettes. “It is an honour for TAAT(TM) to keep getting media attention as we introduce our product line to smokers aged 21+ in the United States to offer them a better choice. Since December 2020, we have been placing TAAT(TM) in tobacco retailers across the state of Ohio, with several stores having sold out and reordered in just a matter of weeks,” said TAAT(TM) Chief Executive Officer Setti Coscarella. “Although TAAT(TM) has already been mentioned in various regional and niche publications, coverage in outlets that reach a much wider audience is very validating both of the TAAT(TM) product itself, as well as the company as a whole. I believe the Seeking Alpha author did an excellent job of painting a macro-level picture of the CPG and tobacco industries in today’s article, also explaining where TAAT(TM) could fit in among other products that have taken a novel approach to capturing market share through reinvented formulations that provide what consumers ultimately want most, and that is choice.”

Under executive leadership with “Big Tobacco” pedigree, TAAT(TM) was launched first in the United States in Q4 2020 as the company seeks to position itself in the $814 billion* global tobacco industry.

$PBIO Announces Plans to Acquire the Assets of Global Eco-Friendly Agrochemical Supplier

February 12, 2021

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (PBIO) Announces Plans to Acquire the Assets of Global Eco-Friendly Agrochemical Supplier

  • Pressure BioSciences to acquire the assets of a global, eco-friendly agrochemical supplier for worldwide distribution into food production markets
  • Assets include formulations, manufacturer relationships, trademarks and other IP, registrations, licenses, and access to distributors and end-users
  • Assets are being acquired from a company that was selling improved, effective, organically-natural, “green” agrochemical products
  • Company expects that this new agrochemical business will not just be operational in 2021, but will generate significant revenue by the end of this year
  • Worldwide market for agrochemicals is soaring
  • PBI’S Patented Ultra Shear Technology(TM) (“UST”) produces high-quality stable nanoemulsions that can make oil-based products, such as perticides and fertilizers, far more water soluble and effective

South Easton, MA, February , 2021 – Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO) (“PBI” or the “Company”), a global leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments to the life sciences and other fields, announced it has signed a letter of intent to purchase the assets of an internationally-based, eco-friendly agrochemical developer.  This developer was previously engaged in providing environmentally sustainable alternatives to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers for agricultural production worldwide.

Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, President, and CEO of PBI said “Upon completion, this acquisition of assets will bring into PBI an established portfolio of respected brand names in the eco-friendly agrochemicals market, with unique proprietary formulations, advantageous manufacturer relationships, trademarks, intellectual property, registrations and licenses, and access to the distributor and end-customer relationships around the world. We expect these assets to be accretive, driving significant new revenues and profitability in 2021 and beyond” (https://ibn.fm/Nxoj2).

As the demand for food production increases worldwide, environmental sustainability becomes a huge concern. This has paved the way for a new generation of environmental-friendly agrochemicals. Consequently, the worldwide market for Pesticides should reach $131B by 2023 (https://ibn.fm/GfkTf) and Fertilizers should reach $232B by 2025 (https://ibn.fm/GHX2J). The common challenge faced by Agrochemicals involves effective and increased absorption of oily (hydrophobic) active ingredients, required for increased availability within targeted plant species.

Pressure BioSciences was recently awarded its first U.S. patent for its novel Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) platform, a process that has the potential of increasing the long-term stability, safety, water-solubility, and bio-availabity of many products in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetics, food and beverage, and now agricultural markets. UST is a nano emulsification platform, which can make oils effectively soluble in water. This technique is expected to provide improved agrochemical dosing while reducing the quantities of expensive active ingredients required (saving the manufacturer significant money).

The company has filed patents in U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia. UST uniquely combines intense shear forces generated from ultra-high-pressure valve discharge, under controlled temperatures, to produce high-quality stable nanoemulsions. In addition to saving the manufacturer significant money during processing, UST can also significantly reduce foodborne pathogens, thus making the nanoemulsified product much safer.

As mentioned, the UST technology platform has the potential to play a pivotal role in a number of commercial sectors, e.g.,nutraceuticals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, cannabis oil extracts, industrial lubricants, and now agriculture where macro and micro emulsions of oil and water are commonly used.. Scientific studies indicate that nanoemulsions offer improved absorption, higher bioavailability, greater stability, lower surfactant levels, and other advantages over larger emulsions (https://ibn.fm/zFDA6).

About Pressure BioSciences Inc.

Pressure BioSciences is a global leader in the development and sale of innovative, pressure-based solutions for the life sciences market and other industries. The company’s products are based on the unique alternating pressure cycling technology (“PCT”). The company’s primary focus is on the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and quality control, soil and plant biology, forensics, and counter-bioterror applications.
