Advanced Bio-Oil Technologies Limited Forging Ahead: Bio-Oils for the Cosmetic, Pharmaceutical and Biofuel Industry, Regulation A+, Company Milestones and a Note From the CEO

[ad_1]

Press Release
–

updated: Oct 17, 2018

DENVER, October 17, 2018 (Newswire.com)
–
Advanced Bio-Oil Technologies Limited (ABOT) is providing the various industries a platform to produce bio-oil at-will using any supply of biodegradable carbon molecule. Whether it would be for the biodiesel industry, the cosmetic or pharmaceutical, this process is producing more and better bio-oils. ABOT is pleased to announce, on this day when Canada has legalized cannabis, that its platform for producing high-grade Medical Bio-Oil will range from skincare products formulated to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone to numerous medical uses of CBD (cannabidiol) bio-oils. Our products that will contain CBD bio-oils will not be marketed in the United States for the present time until the laws change at a federal level but ABOT will be seeking licenses in Canada and abroad.

ABOT continues to navigate the new Regulation A+ IPO path to market. This new type of initial public offering is an alternative to a traditional IPO, which makes it easier for smaller, early-stage companies like ABOT to raise up to $25 million in investment capital from the public, not just accredited investors. It’s a crowdfunding alternative where early investors become actual shareholders.

Regulation A+ paves the way for new companies to go to market, with fewer requirements and regulations than a traditional IPO process. This is of concern to some regulators who worry that inexperienced investors may not fully understand what they are getting into. Transparency helps address this. ABOT urges potential investors to review our filings with the SEC (linked below) to see our solid business proposal and to follow the progress of the company as we navigate to our IPO.

ABOT as a company has certainly matured during this journey. In the following months, ABOT will be issuing more press releases of significant milestones which have shaped our vision.

We are a Wyoming start-up alternative Bio-Oil business corporation with an office, initially, in Denver, Colorado. Our product is known as “Bio-Oil.” The trade name of our bio-oil product is “ABOT-inside.” We have a License Agreement in place with a Canadian company, Lux Biologics Limited (“Lux Bio”).

Regulation A+ has provided a fantastic opportunity to drive growth for small businesses. At Advanced Bio-Oil Technologies Limited, our priority is to ensure that we partner with the SEC as well as our agents, attorneys and other professionals to responsibly complete this process as intended. Compliance is key to ensuring the door of opportunity remains open for others to follow.

A note on compliance – Mireille Samson, CEO, Advanced Bio-Oil Technologies Limited:

“Compliance is key for going public. The process of companies going public under Regulation A+ is very new, which is why people are just starting to hear about it now. Not only do we have to run and promote our company, but we need to work very closely with the SEC to ensure we abide by all regulations that are covered by compliance rules. There are no shortcuts to going public – we have to work through the process to qualify. We are committed to deliver for them, and I know they are just as excited as we are to hit the markets and see a great return for their investment as we grow our business and make this IPO a reality.”

updated: Jan 25, 2018
Carlsbad, Calif., January 25, 2018 (Newswire.com)
–
Let’s Go Robotics today announced Precise Drop™ micro-dispensing systems. These systems are the latest innovation by the company for life sciences and medical diagnostics applications. Precise Drop is highly configurable, making it easy to use in any environment from benchtop to full laboratory. The Let’s Go Robotics team focuses on system integration, custom engineering, and standard product development, leveraging its decades of experience in engineering and robotics.

“We have been designing and delivering small volume dispensing systems for years,” said Brian L. Ganz, Let’s Go Robotics President and CEO. “Precise Drop systems package this expertise into a more standard line of flexible dispensers that scales from benchtop to full production.”

We have been designing and delivering small volume dispensing systems for years. Precise Drop systems package this expertise into a more standard line of flexible dispensers that scales from benchtop to full production.

Brian L. Ganz, President and CEO of Let’s Go Robotics Inc

Precise Drop dispensers are compact, low cost and fully customizable. Available for 1 to 16 channels in the packaged configuration, the dispensers can be configured with more than 64 channels as needed. Each channel is independently controlled, dispensing volumes from 50nL to 650μL and bulk fill up to 2mL. The systems support a wide range of substrates, microwell plates, and membranes.

Small volume dispensing is important for life science companies to conserve samples and improve experimental results. The systems are easily used in genomic and proteomic research, drug discovery, mass spectrometry, and screening assays. These systems eliminate inconsistency and spillage problems common in manual processes.

For medical device (DX) applications, Precise Drop enables low cost, highly accurate and repeatable reagent dispensing. Applications include manufacturing of rapid testing strips and other flow-through wetted diagnostics kits.

Precision Non-Contact Dispensing

Precise Drop systems use solenoid valves to meter consistent volumes into the substrate, microwell plate or membrane. A digital control system ensures accurate, precise dispensing. Each valve has a dedicated independent microcontroller. Channels can be coordinated, individually timed or timed based on some external event. This flexibility is critical for both multi-well dispense and for multi-line dispense onto a membrane web.

The user interface to the microcontrollers is browser-based, allowing operators to set up protocols and recipes using a smartphone, tablet, netbook, laptop, desktop computer or any other web-based device. Precise Drop also interfaces with SiLA and TCP/IP socket.

“Precise Drop technology remains the same as it scales from benchtop to production operations,” said Ganz. “This ensures consistency and eliminates the need for retraining as systems grow.”

Precise Drop Systems

Precise Drop Systems are available in 3 core configurations:
- Precise Drop Lite—for projects still in research mode, but the scope of testing expands beyond an individual researcher and pipettes.
- Precise Drop Standard—for prototypes, additional testing and initial production.
- Precise Drop Extended—for benchtop, research, testing and production.
In addition, Let’s Go Robotics can design custom end-user systems and OEM configurations.

To learn more about specific configurations, contact Let’s Go Robotics and request the Precise Drop Micro-Dispensing Systems brochure.

SLAS 2018

Precise Drop micro-dispensing systems will be featured at SLAS 2018 in booth #1001. Representatives will be available throughout the exhibition to demonstrate the systems and answer any questions.

Let’s Go Robotics Patent on Robotic Gripper Increases Reliability in Unattended Operations

[ad_1]

Let’s Go Robotics announces new patent on robotic gripper. Gripper handles microwell plates without dropping, crushing or mishandling. Product can retrofit most robotic arms and positioners.

Press Release
–

Jun 1, 2016

Carlsbad, California, June 1, 2016 (Newswire.com)
–
Let’s Go Robotics today announced that the US Patent and Trademark Office has granted patent #9,327,411 for a robotic gripper that eliminates common points of failure in robotics used in life sciences and other applications. The method is based on sensor-less force detection to avoid crushing and novel rack and pinion gears to avoid dropping. The patent is used in the Let’s Go Robotics electro servo gripper named The Gripster and used in a wide range of robotic systems. Let’s Go Robotics specializes in life sciences automation for the future.

“Our revolutionary gripper handles microwell plates without dropping, crushing or otherwise mishandling them,” said Brian Ganz, Let’s Go Robotics President. “These plates may contain drug discovery experiments worth thousands of dollars or drug trial testing materials that are irreplaceable. Our patented technology safeguards these experiments as plates are transferred between instruments.”

“Our revolutionary gripper handles microwell plates without dropping, crushing or otherwise mishandling them. These plates may contain drug discovery experiments worth thousands of dollars or drug trial testing materials that are irreplaceable. Our patented technology safeguards these experiments as plates are transferred between instruments.”

Brian Ganz, President

The patented robotic gripper detects the presence of an object such as a microwell based on force rather than a sensor. Once force is detected, power is held constant, eliminating the risk of crushing. Only a small amount of current is required, avoiding common overheating problems. Force is created by a small stepping motor driving mechanical gears and is fully programmable for each environment. Grip forces are varied automatically based on plate width, and whether the plate is lidded or un-lidded, empty, full or partially filled. Objects can be gripped in landscape and portrait orientation. Software is included to setup the gripper for unique applications. No plastic is used, just all precise bearings and machined aluminum for quality and longevity.

The gripper uses rack and pinion gears with a worm drive to eliminate dropping risk. The worm drive turns the gears but the gears cannot turn the worm drive. As a result, the gripper cannot lose its grip on a microwell plate. A manual override button can be pressed to free a plate, at the gripper if needed. Other features covered in the patent include top and rear mounting options and collision detection to protect the microplate.

The Gripster can retrofit most robotic arms and positioners. Its built-in controller easily interfaces with robot controllers. Let’s Go Robotics regularly works with scientists and engineers to get the best fit for their laboratory automation needs. Other features include a bar-code reader mounted on the gripper, along with additional I/O for future automation support.

“Grippers are an extremely important component in life science robotics and a common point of failure,” said Ganz. “This patent recognizes the innovative nature of our robotic gripper and represents a significant improvement in reliability in unattended laboratory operations.”

Patent #9,327,411 was issued on May 3, 2016. The patent claims the benefit of Provisional Application 61/422,571 filed December 13, 2010. Brian Ganz is a named inventor on this patent and more than 20 other US patents. Read the full text of the patent on the US Patent and Trademark Office web site.
