We are excited to announce that ISM will participate in 2018 Marijuana for Medical Professionals conference in Denver, CO, taking place on October 14 - 16, 2018, at the Marriott Hotel Denver Tech Center.

At the conference, ISM President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, will be giving a talk, entitled "How and Why to Make Cannabis "Water-Soluble"." 

If you are interested in learning about translucent, water-compatible nanoemulsions of cannabis extracts that can be infused into beverages, edibles and topicals, resulting in enhanced bioavailability and shortened onset of therapeutic action, please come see Dr. Peshkovsky's presentation! 

The recording of Cannabis Tech Media's recent webcast on Ultrasonic Liquid Processing for Cannabis Oil Nano-Emulsification and Extraction, featuring guest speaker Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Industrial Sonomechanics, is now ready. The webcast, which was held on Thursday, May 17th, 2018, had over 300 registered participants and generated close to 150 questions. Some of these questions were addressed by Alexey during the webcast. The answers to the rest are provided in this post. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us or leave a comment below.

We are happy to announce that Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, President & Chief Scientific Officer of Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM), will be the guest speaker at CannabisTech Media's live webcast, presenting ISM's high-intensity ultrasonic technology for cannabis oil nano-emulsification and extraction. Interested in making or using water-soluble cannabis extracts? Join us on Thursday, May 17th, 2018 at 11:00 am (MDT). 

We are happy to announce that ISM will participate in the Cannabis World Congress and Business Exposition in New York, NY. The conference will take place from May 30th to June 2nd, 2018, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center located in Midtown Manhattan. If you are interested in making translucent cannabis extract nanoemulsions (water-soluble CBD and THC that can be infused into beverages, edibles, topicals, etc.) with enhanced bioavailability and a rapid onset of action, please come see us at booth 519! We will be exhibiting all our ultrasonic liquid processors as well as our new NanoStabilizer™. We will also bring along some nanoemulsion samples made with our technology. 

Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) is pleased to announce the recent publication of a book entitled "Ultrasound: Advances in Food Processing and Preservation," edited by Dr. Daniela Bermudez-Aguirre (Academic Press, 2017). The book provides an extensive overview of the potential of ultrasound technology to drive innovation in the field of food processing and preservation, and features a chapter by ISM's co-founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky. This chapter, entitled "From Research to Production: Overcoming Scale-Up Limitations of Ultrasonic Processing," explains how ultrasonic processing can be directly scaled up from laboratory to production environments while maintaining reproducible, high-quality results.

We are happy to announce that ISM will participate in the 2018 World Medical Cannabis Conference & Expo in Pittsburgh, PA. The conference will take place from April 12 to 14, 2018, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center located in downtown Pittsburgh. If you are interested in making translucent cannabis extract nanoemulsions ("water-soluble" CBD and THC that can be infused into beverages, edibles, topicals, etc.) with enhanced bioavailability and a rapid onset of action, please come see us at booth 515!

Last month, Industrial Sonomechanics (ISM) had a chance to participate in the  Spring 2017 Marijuana Business Conference & Expo at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington, D.C. With its increased participation (thousands attending and 275 exhibitors on the expo floor), the conference provided a clear indication of the cannabis industry's accelerated growth. 

ISM exhibited its laboratory, bench, and industrial-scale ultrasonic processors and additive packages used for the production of nanoemulsions of cannabis extracts, also known as "water-soluble CBD and THC". A wide variety of topics related to ultrasonic emulsification were covered by our presenters:

• Reasons for low and unpredictable bioavailability profiles of traditional cannabis products;
• Challenges of delivering accurate cannabinoid doses by common administration methods, such as smoking, vaping, dabbing, edibles, sublingual, etc.; 
• Advantages of turning cannabis extracts into water-compatible nanoemulsions: increased potency, accelerated onset of action, simplified administration and guaranteed dosing accuracy;
• Formulation options: translucent versus milky nanoemulsions, flavour, stability, etc.

We are happy to announce that ISM will participate in the Spring 2017 Marijuana Business Conference & Expo in Washington DC. The conference will take place on May 16 - 19, 2017 at the Gaylord National Harbor Hotel. If you are interested in making cannabis oil nanoemulsions, also known as water-soluble CBD and THC, please come by and see our ultrasonic equipment at booth 1223!

10 years ago Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky quit his job in medical physics and joined his father, Dr. Sergei Peshkovsky, in founding Industrial Sonomechanics, LLC (ISM). This year, with hundreds of clients all around the world, a number of partnerships and long-term R&D contracts, as well as a double-digit billion-dollar market to pursue in several industries, we were happy to celebrate our first double-digit anniversary! 

The congress, which took place in Caprica, Portugal, on June 6th - 8th, 2016, was a very educational and productive experience.  A wide variety of topics related to ultrasonics were covered by presenters from industrial, academic and government institutions worldwide. ISM's presentation was part of the Ultrasound and Engineering topic group.
