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.

Business Leaders Still Primarily Use AI for Simple Tasks, Study from General Assembly and EZRA Finds19.5.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Those who have received leadership-specific AI training more likely to use AI more often and more strategically NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2026 / A new survey of more than 500 U.S. and U.K. business leaders found that while they are increasingly confident in their own AI skills, the most common use cases of the technology at the leadership level remain simple tasks like searching for information (69%), summarizing documents (68%) and drafting emails (58%). Strategic applications such as scenario planning (27%), organizational design (27%) and financial modeling (28%) lag far behind. The research was conducted by General Assembly, a global leader in practical AI skills training, in collaboration with EZRA, a leading global coaching and learning provider, both LHH brands. The study also surfaces a sharp divide between leadership levels. Vice presidents consistently fall behind director-level colleagues across nearly every measure of AI adoption and competence, emerging
Europe's Hospital Cybersecurity Hot Zones and Top Cyber Vendors as EHR and EPR Attacks Shift From Data Theft to Care Disruption19.5.2026 14:50:00 CEST | Press release
Recent European hospital incidents, NIS2 accountability, EPR exposure, supplier concentration, and 72-hour downtime weakness are pushing buyers toward clinical-continuity cybersecurity ahead of HIMSS26 Europe COPENHAGEN, DK / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2026 / Black Book Research today issued a new European hospital cybersecurity advisory identifying the countries, attack surfaces, vendor categories, and evaluation standards now shaping hospital cybersecurity buying decisions across Europe. The advisory builds on Black Book's Pre-HIMSS26 Europe Copenhagen Cybersecurity Demand Pulse Survey of 284 self-identified European hospital, health system, HIT, clinical-digital, cybersecurity, procurement, risk, and executive respondents seeking cybersecurity options around HIMSS26 Europe in Copenhagen. Black Book reports that European hospital cybersecurity has moved beyond breach response. The 2026 priority is now clinical availability: protecting EHRs, EPRs, identity systems, lab platforms, pharm
AI Trading Bots Revolutionise Stock, Gold, and Forex Trading: Funds Coin Leads the Move with Guaranteed Profit Option Strategy19.5.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2026 / Forex has always been the world's largest digital financial market in 2026. Now it has become entirely a 24-hour, data-saturated environment. According to the Bank for International Settlements, global OTC foreign exchange turnover reached $9.6 trillion per day in April 2025. This means the foreign exchange turnover was up 28% from 2022. This is a figure that underscores just how deeply connected forex is to global liquidity, risk management, and capital flows. Inside that volume, the competition has intensified dramatically. In 2026, retail traders are no longer competing mainly against other individuals; they are competing against automated systems, and AI-assisted execution engines like Funds Coin. The platform operates across stocks, forex, and financial markets simultaneously. Manual trading, in this environment, is not just inefficient. It is structurally outpaced.
