Astrotech Corporation announces formation of a wholly owned subsidiary 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 Process and the Pro-Control-1000 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 MVP uses advanced mass spectrometer instrumentation to monitor and control the fractional distillation of bulk chemicals using real-time in-process samples. Pro-Control MVP provides the vital spectral qualitative and quantitative data needed to control the distillation parameters while significantly improving efficiency. The Pro-Control MVP rapid test can take up to 20 tests per hour providing ideal testing conditions to greatly increase efficiency.
