Med-e-Cell's Prime MoverTM can also be used to extract oxygen
from vials, containers or bags for the purpose of preservation of drugs, food,
chemicals or any oxygen sensitive product.
A prototype oxygen extractor (at right) has shown to extend the storage life of
epinephrine, an oxygen sensitive drug. Epinephrine is normally stored in a glass
vial and sealed with an elastomeric cap.
The latest Extract-OTM designs and prototypes have been made to
fit within common vial cap sizes. Extract-OTM has been
demonstrated to reduce the oxygen concentration within a closed volume to minute
levels for extended periods of time (200 ppm for up to 2 years for the prototype
shown above).
