HALIFAX: Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. announced the execution of a Collaboration Supply Agreement between Sixth Wave and PuriTech LLC.

Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, PuriTech will assist in the manufacturing of Sixth Wave’s Affinity Units by contributing PuriTech’s patented ION-IX system.

ION-IX uses a single, multi-port distribution valve to create an optimized process system for continuous, countercurrent ion exchange. PuriTech’s ION-IX system has been used in water treatment, hydrometallurgy, sugar treatment, recovery of chemicals and a wide variety of ion exchange applications where very low waste or the recovery of high-value components is required.

Equipment purchased under the Supply Agreement will adhere to EU-GMP and US/Canadian – GMP compliance standards allowing Sixth Wave to provide a compliance package to its customers to obtain their own certifications. Sixth Wave will leverage the baseline operating specifications and capabilities of the ION-IX to optimize the use of Sixth Wave’s patent pending molecularly imprinted polymer technology for the isolation and separation of cannabinoids.

The resulting equipment and Affinity adsorbent will comprise the Affinity System.

PuriTech also has the ability to design and develop bespoke system applications based on the data already obtained from Sixth Wave’s existing Affinity Units. As Sixth Wave begins to scale up it’s manufacturing to meet customer demand, the Supply Agreement will accelerate the design, installation, commissioning, and optimization of the Affinity Unit’s in a variety of sizes and/or custom designs.

Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, PuriTech has also agreed to assist in the distribution and marketing of the Affinity Units. Sixth Wave will also collaborate with PuriTech for the testing and development of any new technology applications developed by Sixth Wave.

“This agreement with PuriTech will allow Sixth Wave to accelerate the manufacturing of the Affinity Units to meet the unparalleled current and prospective customer demand,” stated Dr. Jonathan Gluckman, CEO of Sixth Wave.

“PuriTech’s wellreputed history for delivering the highest quality equipment complements the advanced technology of the Affinity System.”
