Chemical Distillation
Maximize Distillation Yields and Potency with In-Situ Mass Spectrometry.
Standard distillation often relies on temperature and pressure as proxies for composition, forcing operators to make conservative cuts that sacrifice yield to ensure purity. Astrotech changes this by integrating mass spectrometry in-situ, providing a direct view of the molecular stream in real time . The AgLAB 1000-D2 allows operators to visualize the exact transition of fractions based on chemical reality rather than theoretical boiling points . By tightening cut points and optimizing vacuum levels dynamically, facilities can recover valuable product previously lost to waste streams, driving yield improvements of 15-30%.
Dynamic Process Control
Visualize the specific molecular profile of your stream to define exact cut-points between fractions. This allows operators to identify the precise moment to switch collection vessels based on chemical composition, eliminating the guesswork of traditional temperature-based methods
Yield Maximization
Recover up to 30% more product by tightening cut points based on actual data rather than conservative estimates. By visualizing the "tails" of a run with molecular precision, facilities can capture valuable compounds that would otherwise be discarded as waste.
In-Line Potency Optimization
Adjust vacuum and temperature parameters dynamically during the run to maximize potency. Real-time analysis eliminates the need to run "blind" while waiting for offline samples, allowing operators to optimize conditions instantly for the highest possible product quality.
Distillation Process Automation
Transform artisanal intuition into reproducible science by standardizing your best results. Use precise molecular data to replicate optimized runs across every batch, ensuring that the quality of your finest distillation becomes the consistent, validated standard for your entire operation.
