Strategic agreement expands bioprocessing equipment (SFC systems) availability to the Pharma industry across Europe after Novasep exited the technology years ago.
PITTSBURGH - Californer -- Thar Process, a leader in supercritical CO2 extraction and purification technology (SFE and SFC), today announced a partnership with ExtrateX, a premier French specialist in supercritical fluid systems, to represent and distribute its advanced SFC systems throughout Europe. This provides clients with comprehensive sales and technical support in pharmaceutical, biotech, and specialty chemical labs across the region.
"We are excited to re-enter Europe with our SFC systems," said Todd Palcic, CEO of Thar Process. "SFC is a platform technology that utilizes upcycled CO2 for purification of natural and synthetic molecules that is both highly efficient and sustainable at the same time. ExtrateX's deep expertise in supercritical CO2 systems and strong presence across Europe make them the ideal partner."
Thar Process's Isolator™ SFC systems are designed for high-resolution separation and purification bioprocessing applications, including pharmaceutical APIs and excipients, fermented products, peptides (GLP-1s, etc.) and natural products like omega-3s and cannabinoids. The technology offers advantages in speed, efficiency, and environmental sustainability compared to conventional separation methods.
