How can we trust the speedometer on our cars? The temperature in our houses? The quantities of ingredients present in the food and products we use every day? How about the accuracy of the labels on our favorite lotions and supplements?

Being 100 % pure, Aplantex molecules are the ideal standard

The answer is a field of science that affects us all in our daily lives but many of us do not know: Metrology. It establishes a common understanding of units, crucial in making equipment, processes, and activities compatible around the globe.

The weight of a kilogram of almonds from California and the weight of a kilogram of gold traded online through your favorite bank can both ultimately be traced back to the consensus value of the kilogram kept at, for example, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

So, what about the thousands of molecules present in plant extracts that find themselves in a multitude of household products?

Some of these are active ingredients that should ideally be measured to ensure that products are consistent. Just like weights, a reference is required. Pure molecules to which every product or extract can be compared to determine if they are present and in what concentrations. Many of these molecules are complex and present in very small quantities in plants, fruits, and vegetables to name a few sources. They do not all have available standards on the market. Aplantex has the ability to produce 100 % pure molecules that can be used as the ultimate reference.

Without standards, nobody can definitely measure molecule quantity and the quality of products that contain them cannot be verified.

Once a molecule is produced by Aplantex, we can contribute to elevating the quality of products that contain plant active ingredients since they can be purified and supplied as standards.
