Pharmaceutical customers that demand the highest and most exacting levels of Omega Oil concentration are the focus of our Maxomega process, an advanced chromatographic separation method unique to Equateq. Maxomega offers absolute concentrates of any fatty acid, at levels of up to 99% purity.
The method is benign to oils, and involves low temperatures that ensure a very low impurity profile. Production at our facility in Scotland is at full commercial scale, and is cGMP, so the Maxomega oils can be used as APIs, for clinical trials, or in other lipid research roles. All products can be delivered in EE, FFA or rTG form. Maxomega delivers the highest and purest levels of Omega Oil concentration possible in the fatty acid sector, and represents a blank canvas for conducting advanced lipid research.
Ten reasons to use Maxomega
- Total Control: Maxomega delivers absolute control, allowing us to pull out from feedstocks specific fatty acids at up to 99% purity, or perform a looser cut of ~90% for less exacting applications
- Genuinely Cool: The Maxomega process operates at room temperature, and does not involve high temperatures, such as those used in industrial distillation. Hence there is no thermal degradation, and the finished product has no isomers and other heat-generated impurities
- Flexible: Maxomega can be applied to any feedstock – marine, algal or botanical – depending on customer requirement
- All Fatty Acids: Maxomega can separate any long chain fatty acid on the Omega pathways, be it mainstream or obscure
- Full Formulation Options: Pure lipids can be formulated into specific bespoke blends based on the particular focus of the product (eg 50% EPA + 40% DHA)
- Consistent: Maxomega’s total control means we can eliminate any variability between batches, and always be on specification
- Security: Researchers can work with confidence when using 99% actives with only 1% ‘impurity’
- Certified: With all output certified as cGMP, Maxomega lipid actives can be used by the pharmaceutical industry as APIs, or as qualified intermediates
- Stable: Maxomega Omegas are manufactured within a completely closed system, packed in pharmaceutical-grade vessels, and nitrogen protected, to ensure a strong stability profile
- Cutting Edge: The Maxomega offering gives great scope for advanced lipid applications, as intermediates for use in synthesis, to build derivatives, or marry with non-lipid APIs
