BIOT Tank (Oral) Kalion is an early stage industrial biotech company providing low-cost access to high purity glucaric acid and other chemicals using traditional, green, fermentation technology. Technology Differentiation: Biological production that allows for high purity glucaric acid necessary for highest value application and polymer applications Size of Company: less than 2 full time Years in Business: 3 since initial funding: Number of Customers : 0 - Testing with customer Revenue:0 Customer Problem Glucaric acid needs to be of high purity to address pharmaceutical needs. In polymer applications glucaric must be both high purity and low cost. Our fermentation pathway allows us to immediately address the high purity needs of the high costs pharmaceutical markets. Our pathway also allows us address other high value nutraceutical applications. Lastly we will produce low-cost high-purity glucaric for the billion dollar polymer markets. Products & Services We create microbes (E. coli) with a patented pathway that will allow us to produce a range of products at substantially lower costs. The first of these is high-purity, high-value, glucaric acid. The next set of products include glucuronic acid and myo-inositol. The last product will be low-cost, high-purity glucaric acid. By the end of 2017 we expect to have low volumes of our highest value product available for purchase. Target Market Glucaric acid has been identified as a unique additive to multiple traditional billion-dollar polymers. The high level of impact supports low-cost, high-purity glucaric acid at $10/lb. In pharmaceutical industry, Adderall require high purity glucaric acid that sells for $30/lb so we will start there. Glucuronic acid and myo-inositol are ingredients for many high energy drinks like 5 Hour or Monster energy drinks. ***********Shark Tank Event is different than traditional abstract.
