26 November 2020 - 12:30AM
AgraFlora Organics International
Inc. (“
AgraFlora” or the
“
Company”)
(
CSE: AGRA
) (Frankfurt:
PU31
) (OTCPK: AGFAF) is pleased to announce that
it has acquired High Performance Liquid Chromatography
(“
HPLC”) equipment for AgraFlora’s
51,000-Square-foot fully-automated edibles manufacturing facility
in Winnipeg, Manitoba (the “
Edibles Facility”).
The addition of an Agilent HPLC driven
analytical testing platform at the Edibles Facility will allow
AgraFlora to rapidly develop and launch new edibles products which
have been formulated from the Company’s previously announced (See
press release dated August 27, 2020) Research and Development
(“R&D”) trials through the Company’s Health
Canada R&D license.
James Fletcher, EIC Co-Founder and Operational
Manager stated, "Implementing this suite of HPLC analytical
equipment into our production strategy will reduce our 3rd party
product testing costs, while improving product safety and quality
by allowing us to continuously monitor edible production to ensure
quality standards are being met. This should also greatly improve
our speed to market with unique SKU’s and allow us to offer some of
the most price competitive products in the market.”
The Agilent analytical platform will also allow
for the Edibles Facility to expand its in-house capability to
support future cannabis oil extraction. AgraFlora remains confident
that the Company will receive Standard Processing License from
Health Canada in Q4 of 2020.
The Company acquired the HPLC equipment in
consideration for the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares in the
capital of the Company at a deemed value of $0.03 per share.
