The decision to outsource development of the purification process demonstrates our commitment to shortening development timelines. This progress in purifying the fermentation residues obtained from industrial feedstocks will enable METabolic EXplorer to produce demonstration batches for qualification of PDO in its various applications."
Benjamin Gonzalez, Chairman and CEO of METabolic EXplorer, stated: "Thanks to the PDO programme, METabolic EXplorer has taken a significant step forward in integrating the skills required to industrialize its innovations. The production of these first high purity PDO samples also represent the first material proof of the company's rapid progress towards the industrialisation of its products".
Incorporated in 1999, METabolic EXplorer is an industrial biotech company working in the "green chemistry" sector. The company's goal is to help industrial manufacturing businesses to change the way they produce their goods by moving away from ever-scarcer, petrochemical-derived feedstocks.
