OUR MISSION: To develop and produce bioactive molecules derived from micro-algae for the functional food, supplement, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products markets.
Our modular photobioreactor system allows the controlled growth of micro-algae in a fully sanitary and controlled environment from the beginning to the end of the process.
Our research team has solid experience in cell and molecular biology, engineering, project management, quality systems, regulatory affairs and clinical studies.
Professionals involved and concerned about the quality of health products.
Our modular photobioreactor system allows controlled growth of micro-algae in a fully sanitary and controlled environment from start to finish. Accumulation of astaxanthin inside Haematococcus pluvialis cells requires a two-step process with very different environmental parameters. The majority of producers therefore carry out cell growth indoors followed by the maturation phase outdoors in artificial open ponds. This method increases the risk of contamination by bacteria, parasites or other unwanted algae.
We have designed our photobioreactors in order to not only optimize the cell growth cycle of our algae but also to carry out the maturation phase. By optimizing the two phases inside the same bioreactor, we can maximize the accumulation of astaxanthin in the cells while significantly reducing the risks of contamination and therefore improving the quality of the product, without antibiotic agents.
For optimal cell growth, high purity water is necessary. In addition, we only use food-grade vitamins and nutrients to feed our algae and we plan a complete analysis of the life cycle of the process, including the recycling of water, in order to minimize our ecological footprint.
Once our algae are harvested, the process of extracting astaxanthin can begin. Cell lysis is typically done by chemical or enzymatic degradation of the cell wall, which can leave traces of dangerous chemicals in the extracts. Our process uses only high pressure mechanical methods in order to achieve complete and effective lysis without the use of chemicals.
The drying step is then carried out by lyophilization (freeze-drying), a method ensuring optimal conservation of the nutritional characteristics of the algae.
The final stage is carried out by supercritical CO2 extraction at very high pressures. This allows us to obtain an oily extract rich in bioactive compounds such as Omega-3, Omega-6 as well as astaxanthin and other carotenoids. Again, this method uses no chemicals harmful to health unlike conventional extractions. In addition, the CO2 is fully recycled after use.
Our scientific research program combined with the use of new efficient and safe technologies for health and the environment ensures we obtain a final product of superior quality.
The Quantum Synergy Solutions team is made up of engineers and scientists with decades of experience in the highly regulated biotechnology markets.
In recent years we have developed a unique photobioreactor technology and have carried out advanced research projects in the fields of extraction processes, in partnership with recognized research centers.
Our goal is to provide high quality micro-algae, extracts and bioactive molecules for today's and tomorrow's nutritional, supplement and cosmetic markets.
