Core One Labs Initiates First Strain Production for Biosynthetic Psilocybin

Core One Labs Inc. (CSE: COOL), (OTC: CLABF), (Frankfurt: LD62, WKN: A2P8K3)  (“Core One”) a biotechnology research and development life sciences enterprise focused on advancing psychedelic medicines to market, is pleased to announce readiness to begin initial biosynthetic psilocybin production trials.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Vocan Biotechnologies Inc. of Victoria, British Columbia, has successfully completed the development of its psilocybin detection and quantification methodology. This significant achievement allows the Company to commence production trials with its first psilocybin producer strain.

The use of high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) will allow the team to precisely determine the level of activity achievable with its proprietary DNA sequence in the producer strain. This proven method very quickly quantifies the amount of biosynthetic psilocybin generated during the fermentation process.

As the Company progresses with its technology development, this analytical technique will enable the team to identify effective strategies to control and optimize psilocybin production suitable for use in future scale-up.

Joel Shacker, CEO of Core One  notes, “With the recent acquisition of equipment and precursor materials in place, our team has moved faster than anticipated to advance our proprietary producer strain. The work already underway demonstrates a viable and efficient pathway to scalable production, positioning Core One  at the production forefront of the sector in Canada.”

Core One’s ability to demonstrate cost effective manufacturing of high-quality compounds is aimed at generating interest throughout the national research sector. Initial cost projections are predicted to offer API-grade psilocybin at savings of thousands of dollars per gram. The biosynthetic approach to psilocybin production allows for both IP protection and rapid value generation through the applied use of proven scientific methodologies as a platform for rapid and scalable production.
