Numinus Wellness Inc. announced it has acquired the Orbitrap Exploris 120 mass spectrometer with Vanquish Flex Binary ("Orbitrap") instrument for its continued research and development of Psilocybe mushroom related projects at Numinus Bioscience, the Company's 7,000 square foot analytics and research laboratory. Implementation of the Orbitrap, a high resolution mass spectrometry instrument, will continue the accelerated trajectory of Numinus Bioscience's research strategy to optimize cultivation, harvest, and extraction of Psilocybe mushrooms. This follows Numinus' successful completion of the first legal extraction in Canada by a public company for research and development purposes in December. Numinus Bioscience is focused on developing analytical methods and formulations for the evolving psychedelics space by establishing itself at the forefront of analytical testing for psychedelics. Use of the Orbitrap Exploris 120 will allow Numinus to accelerate psychedelic standardized testing, research and development activities for third-party clients and strategic partners, as well as high throughput testing for amenable compounds. As well, the Orbitrap will be instrumental in ensuring that dried Psilocybe Mushrooms provided for special access are safe and that the therapeutic compounds consistently meet all required specifications. This follows Health Canada's announcement of its intention to revise the Special Access Programme (SAP) to permit access to MDMA and psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy in the same way other investigational medications are accessed in Canada.
