The below step-by-step guide and video illustrate the procedure for replacing Barbell Horns^®, using an Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) bench-scale ultrasonic processor, BSP-1200, as an example. This procedure is used when switching to a Barbell Horn^® of the same or, as shown in this example, a different type and can be applied with all ISM ultrasonic processors and horn models. 

Barbell Horn^® Ultrasonic Technology (BHUT) is ISM's core intellectual property, which allows our customers to scale-up their applications without having to reduce the ultrasonic amplitude and the associated processing intensity, thereby ensuring reproducible high-quality results on any scale, from lab to industrial. To learn more about why high ultrasonic amplitudes are important, please visit this page.  

At 1:00 pm EST on June 28th, 2022, please join us for a YouTube podcast with a live Q&A session. This event, entitled "Make and Measure the Potency of Cannabis Extract Nanoemulsions", is a collaboration project between Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) and Orange Photonics, where Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky (ISM) and Mr. Dylan Wilks (Orange Photonics) will discuss:

1. ISM's ultrasonic technology and NanoStabilizer® formulations used to produce water-soluble cannabis extract nanoemulsions in the forms of translucent liquids, powders, and quick-disintegrating tablets.

2. Principles of Orange Photonics' Light Lab liquid chromatography technology used to measure the potency of liquid and powdered water-soluble cannabis extract nanoemulsions, including detection limits for various cannabinoids.

3. Best ways to prepare samples comprising various nanoemulsion types for accurate cannabinoid content analysis.

4. Typical reasons for and ways to avoid inconsistent or diminishing cannabinoid potency results in nanoemulsions.

5. Benefits of having a Light Lab cannabis analyzer in-house.

We will be chatting with our viewers throughout the presentation. If interested, please join the conversation at 1:00 pm EST on June 28th, 2022!

Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) has cracked the code in ramping up the power of its high-amplitude industrial-scale ultrasonic liquid processor, increasing the unit's already high 3000 W power rating to 3600 W. The additional power enables our manufacturing customers to improve productivity, thereby increasing the ROI for each process they undertake. It also enables more applications involving viscous liquids (e.g., adhesives, detergents, coatings, food/beverage products), increasing the utility of ISM equipment within more diverse manufacturing conditions.

This comprehensive upgrade also includes Barbell Horn^® design improvements, the addition of a storage/mixing tank with magnetically coupled mixer, as well as many enhanced generator features (e.g., intuitive user interface, better overload protection, several new external control/monitoring features), all in a more compact and robust frame. 

We are excited to announce that on February 5th, 2022,Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) will participate in Cannadelic Miami – the World’s First Cannabis & Psychedelics Expo. 

At this event, ISM President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, will speak about producing water-soluble nano-formulations of cannabis extracts and bioactive alkaloids with increased bioavailability and shortened onset of action. 

If you are interested in manufacturing liquid or powdered water-soluble cannabis extracts or other bioactives, please come to Dr. Peshkovsky's talk.

At 2:00 pm EST on December 7th, 2021, please join us for a YouTube podcast accompanied by a live Q&A session. This event, entitled "Plant 2 Product: Two Key Technologies Driving the Production of Cannabis Beverages and Water-Soluble Powders", is a collaboration between Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) and ExtraktLAB where Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky (ISM) and Dr. Jon Thompson (ExtraktLAB) discuss:

• The importance of extraction and nano-emulsification processes for the development of cannabis-infused beverages.
• Best ways to prepare clean, well-rounded, fragrant extracts that can be further enhanced by the nano-emulsification process.
• Bitterness contributors when producing a cannabis extract-infused product.
• Why nanoemulsion droplet sizes matter and how they can be controlled.
• How ISM's ultrasonic technology and NanoStabilizer® products are used for the production of water-soluble cannabis extract nanoemulsions.
• The production of water-soluble cannabis extract powders and quick-disintegrating tablets.

We will chat with our viewers throughout the presentation. If interested, please join the conversation at 2:00 pm EST on December 7th, 2021!

This November, Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) will participate in the 2nd round of Cannabis Drinks Expo events in San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL. At both events, ISM will exhibit key elements of its ultrasonic equipment and NanoStabilizer® products used to produce liquid and solid cannabis extract nano-formulations (a.k.a. water-soluble CBD/THC liquids and powders) that can be infused into a wide variety of beverages (coffee, tea, beer, water, etc.). Samples of representative finished products will be provided! At these events, ISM President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, will also give keynote presentations, in which he will dive into the science behind cannabis extract nano-formulations and explain how ISM enables its clients to easily produce their own. No technical background is necessary! 

We are happy to announce that Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) will participate in the 2021 MJBizCon – a preeminent Marijuana Business Conference and Cannabis Expo, taking place on October19th - 22nd, 2021, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. If you are interested in making your own liquid or powdered cannabis extract nanoemulsions (a.k.a. water-soluble CBD & THC), please stop by our booth #C6718 to meet the team and see our ultrasonic equipment and All-In-One NanoStabilizer® products!

We are excited to announce that on September 14th - 15th,  Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) will participate in Quebec's premier cannabis industry event: Montreal Cannabis Expo 2021.

At this event, ISM President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, will speak about cannabis extract nanoemulsions (a.k.a. water-soluble THC and CBD). If you are interested in manufacturing liquid or powdered water-soluble cannabis extracts, please come to Dr. Peshkovsky's talk entitled "Water-Soluble" CBD/THC Liquids & Powders: Cannabis Extract Nanoemulsions Produced by High-Intensity Ultrasound."

We are happy to announce that Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) will participate in NECANN 2021, where ISM President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, will speak about the benefits, formulations, production methods, and analysis of liquid and powdered cannabis extract nanoemulsions. If you are interested in making your own water-soluble cannabis extracts, please come to Dr. Peshkovsky's talk entitled "Water-Soluble" CBD/THC Liquids & Powders: Cannabis Extract Nanoemulsions Produced by High-Intensity Ultrasound."
