Astrotech Announces Exciting New Technology Application and Introduces New Subsidiary

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- - via IBN - Astrotech Corporation (NASDAQ:ASTC) ("Astrotech" or the "Company") announces formation of a wholly owned subsidiary Pro-Control, Inc. (“Pro-Control”) and has entered into an exclusive license to use the ATi Mass Spectrometer Technology for chemical manufacturing process control applications. Pro-Control is announcing the introduction of its proprietary Pro-Control Maximum Value ProcessTM (“Pro-Control MVPTM”) and the Pro-Control-1000TM mass spectrometer designed to test, measure and increase potency, purity and weight yields in the chemical manufacturing processes, delivering value to our customers by facilitating improved yields, which we believe will lead to an overall increase in profitability.

Pro-Control MVPTM uses advanced mass spectrometer instrumentation to monitor and control the fractional distillation of bulk chemicals using real-time in-process samples. Pro-Control MVPTM provides the vital spectral qualitative and quantitative data needed to control the distillation parameters (temps, flow, speed, pressure) while significantly improving efficiency. The Pro-Control MVPTM rapid test can take up to 20 tests per hour providing ideal testing conditions to greatly increase efficiency.

Our ideal customer is the high-volume distiller that can implement Pro-Control MVPTM and start realizing increased profits. We believe that the Pro-Control MVP has the ability to routinely improve yields by over 30% and are looking forward to introducing Pro-Control to the very large and valuable worldwide chemical manufacturing and tolling markets,” said Tom Pickens, CEO/CTO.
