Equateq has unparalleled expertise and capability to support any company wanting to grow and operate in the booming omega oils sector. At our dedicated cGMP facility in the Western Isles of Scotland, we can purify and enrich all omega-3 and omega-6 long chain fatty acids up to exceptional concentration levels. We are also involved in various research projects to further explore the life-enhancing role of these crucial nutrients.

Our Fatty Acid Plant has been in operation for more than 20 years, and all production is under pharmaceutical cGMP protocols. We have two core processes, both of which are unique in the lipid sector. Maxomega oils come from an advanced chromotographic separation method that allows us to concentrate any specific fatty acid at up to 99% purity. Crystalpure oils are the result of low temperature fractionation, which allows enrichment of natural triglyceride oils. These two methods give us great flexibility in being able to meet most customer requirements. We can deliver in all key forms: natural Triglycerides, Free Fatty Acids, Ethyl Esters and reconstituted Triglycerides.

All production is supported by our Lipid Laboratory, where we can perform all analytical support necessary for cGMP production. We offer a complete QA package for customers, ensuring all legs of a supply chain -- from raw material to finished product -- are validated as fully compliant with the stringent requirements of the marketplace. Stability work, new product formulation and clinical trial support are standard tasks for our experienced laboratory staff.

We deliver on high-end research projects through our API Plant. This section of the plant, as well as the laboratory, have an FDA pre-approval. We can perform any key pharmaceutical process, and the plant is perfectly suited for pilot-scale pre-production projects. It also allows us to do advanced lipid research on pioneering compounds.

We stay at the cutting edge of fatty acid research through our knowledge base. The plant is the home of the David Horrobin Memorial Library, one of the world's most extensive lipid archives. This resource is often used for literature searches on the various projects we are working on, and typically allows us to quickly evaluate the background knowledge in any given field.

Our unique collection of capabilities and know-how enable the Equateq team to turn ideas into reality in the rapidly growing area of fatty acid research, and commercial production.

Equateq is a private company, and is wholly owned by Adam and Cathra Kelliher.
