The North Star project commenced in mid-2020 as the world's largest 13C production cascade. After the complex build of phase one finished in March 2024, CIL began to introduce naturally abundant product into the front end of the distillation cascade. With each stage of the cascade, the predicted enrichment has exceeded expectations, and the overall performance has been exceptional. The first highly enriched 13C finished product will be captured in October of 2024. CIL will build more front-end systems to bring final production of the cascade to world scale capacities by April 2025.
"This is CIL's fourth 13C production system since 1990. With each system, our team of talented engineers have incorporated their 30-plus years of design, operation, and construction experience into the next system. Our North Star cascade is certainly proving that knowledge and experience pays impactful dividends for CIL and our customers," said Cliff Caldwell, CEO of CIL.
"CIL's talented organic chemists incorporate our 13C product into a myriad of labelled organic compounds with significant importance in environmental testing, biopharmaceutical research, and medical diagnostics. One critical product is 13C Urea used in the detection of H-pylori infections in humans. H-pylori is widespread throughout the world and can lead to stomach ulcers and stomach cancer. 13C urea provides a low-cost detection method to allow for treatment and elimination of H-pylori. The North Star project assures CIL's commitment to meeting the needs of 13C urea and accommodate future growth in other critical applications," states Mike Steiger, Vice President of Engineering and Project Execution.
For years, CIL has been the go-to expert in cryogenic distillation, solidifying its position as the world's top producer of 13C isotopes. CIL's customers can be assured they have the reliable capacity of 13C to meet enable the commercialization of their research.

GoodData.AI Cuts BI Migration From 18 Months to Weeks for DACH Enterprises, Opening the Fastest Route to Production AI12.8.2026 16:20:00 CEST | Press release
With around 80 percent of migration functions automated, enterprises skip the multi-year consulting engagement that has kept them on aging BI platforms. SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2026 / GoodData.AI today announced its AI-driven BI migration offering for enterprises across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, delivered with German-language support and a regional team. Migration agents are able to move organizations off Tableau, Power BI, Qlik, Looker, MicroStrategy, and any other BI platform in days to weeks instead of the 12 to 18 months that a manual rebuild takes. Up to 80 percent of the migration work is automated, which cuts the cost along with the timeline, and GoodData engineers review every change before the customer approves it. It follows GoodData.AI's expansion in the region earlier this year and its work with DATEV, one of Germany's most recognized enterprise software companies. "Every migration conversation in Germany starts with the same question: will
