Every Molecule Leaves a Trace.
In 1997, phytochemical development was driven by fragmented laboratory records stored in filing cabinets. Valuable technical knowledge often disappeared when projects ended.
Exbiol believed there was a better way. What started as a collection of HPLC notebooks has evolved over 29 years into a structured Molecular Intelligence Platform. Today, every chromatogram and stability study becomes part of a continuously expanding scientific archive.

Bulk Botanical R&D & Formulation FAQ
We bypass the traditional solubility barrier through Amorphous Solid Dispersion (ASD) and Self-Emulsifying Delivery Systems (SEDDS). By utilizing high-shear nano-micronization, we reduce the particle size to D90 < 10μm, then encapsulate the lipophilic molecule within a hydro-colloidal matrix. This ensures 100% optical clarity in aqueous formulations.
Absolutely. Our lab provides Matrix-Specific Compatibility Studies following ICH Q1A(R2) guidelines. We can simulate accelerated stress conditions 40°C / 75% RH for your unique finished dosage form (gummies, liquid shots, or capsules) to ensure zero active ingredient degradation over the targeted shelf life.
Exbiol employs Selective Enzymatic Hydrolysis. We utilize specific proteases and glycosidases to cleave bitter ligands—primarily terpenoids and polyphenols—at the molecular level. This changes their receptor-binding affinity without altering the core metabolic skeleton or biological efficacy.
Every batch of our isolates undergoes Headspace Gas Chromatography (HS-GC). We utilize an automated solvent recovery system that operates at sub-zero temperatures, ensuring that Class 2 and Class 3 solvents are kept below < 50 ppm, well exceeding the requirements of USP <467> and EP standards.
