One of the key challenges in using microalgae as an alternative source of omega-3 oils is the difficulty and high cost associated with separating out the algal biomass from its watery culture medium.\u00a0 Membrane filters tend to get clogged and most manufacturers have to resort to the use of energy intensive and expensive continuous flow centrifugation techniques.\"\"<\/p>\n

To address this, LabXero has set up a new consortium (called ProFlow) to help scale-up its novel acoustic cell harvesting technology as a low cost and more energy-efficient way to harvest and extract the contents of farmed microalgae.<\/p>\n

42 Technology\u2019s role includes helping with the design, development and build of commercial-scale cell harvesting and separation equipment that builds on the prototype developed by LabXero and the Acoustic Wave Physics Group at the University of Cambridge.<\/p>\n
