December 16, 2020 – Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. Announces 13C Cascade Production Optimization at Ohio Plant
Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL), the world leader in stable isotope chemistry and the separation of carbon-13 (13C), recently began a significant capacity optimization of one of the production cascades at the 13C separation facility in Xenia, Ohio. This optimization, which began this past summer and is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2021, will increase the cascade’s 13C production by 10%. This follows the most recent expansion completion earlier this year, which increased 13C production capacity by 25%.
September 22, 2020 – Eurisotop Responds to Market Demand for Deuterated Chloroform
Eurisotop, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL), announced a capacity expansion of its deuterated chloroform production. Since its acquisition by CIL in 2001, Eurisotop has become a leading producer of deuterated NMR solvents and is the premier supplier of CIL stable isotope-labeled compounds in Europe. Eurisotop initially operated one reactor that produced 6 tons of deuterated chloroform per year. This new expansion consisted of adding a second reactor (twin reactors) and when operating simultaneously and continuously can produce tens of tons of product per year.
September 2, 2020 – Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. Expands Benzene and Bromobenzene Capacities to Meet Customer Demands
Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL), the world leader in stable isotopes and stable isotope-labeled compounds, recently announced a capacity expansion for deuterated benzene at Cambridge Isotope Separations, LLC (CIS), located on 33 acres in Xenia, Ohio. This capacity expansion started in the summer of 2019 and consisted of two new reactors being added; the first was active in January 2020 and the second new reactor came online this summer. To complete the final phase of this expansion, an additional distillation unit will be active by the end of 2020. This is the first deuterated benzene capacity expansion at CIS since the process began in 2008.
August 12, 2020 – Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. Announces Expansion of 13C Capacity at Ohio Plant
Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc. (CIL), the world leader in stable isotope chemistry and the separation of carbon-13 (13C), recently completed a significant expansion of its 13C separation facility. In 1987, CIL took the initiative to construct the world’s largest 13C isotope-separation plant, Cambridge Isotope Separations, LLC (CIS), located on 33 acres in Xenia, Ohio.13C is a critical starting material supporting development of new research and diagnostic chemicals. Following expansions in 1996, 2012, and 2015, CIL embarked on a new expansion in 2018 which was completed earlier this year. This most recent expansion increased production capacity of 13C by 25%.
