Spherex is one of the most popular versions of cannabis that focuses on high-quality extracts, vape carts, concentrates, and edibles. Spherex, founded in 2015 in Colorado by chemical engineer Niccolo Aieta. Spherex is based on the science used in efficient extraction: to provide products with high potential and purity that are additive-free. The brand mainly offers in Colorado and a few other states to connoisseurs who want reliable and award-winning cannabis experiences.

Overview

Spherex is a cannabis company guided by science, but uses strict scientific processes to create the maximum potential of cannabis by creating high-quality recoveries that are pure. The strategy of the company is to produce high-quality vape cartridges, concentrates, and cannabis beverages with a stable and intense experience and with the best safety and quality protocols.

Headquartered in Aurora, Colorado, Spherex has 51-200 employees and is a privately-owned enterprise that deals with biotechnology studies and cannabis engineering. The fundamental approach of the company is to increase the accessibility of the cannabis molecule to consumers through unconventional extraction and purification procedures. They distribute their products in various states in America and in parts of Canada such as Colorado, California, Oklahoma, and others.

The business achieved extraordinary market performance, especially in the area of vapor pen share of Colorado, where it has demonstrated an outstanding performance throughout the years and exhibited substantial growth in the segment of concentrates. Spherex has quality as its undertaking, evidenced in the fact that they ensure that all their products are 100% solvent-free and that they are not cut using quality-damaging additives such as PG, VG, MCT oil, or Vitamin E Acetate.

History

Niccolo Aieta is a chemical engineer who has a Ph.D. from the Colorado School of Mines as well as specializing in the research of hydrogen fuel cell technology and which is what led to the founding of Spherex in 2015. The technical expertise behind the scientific method of extracting cannabis by Aieta was developed through the background of renewable energy and chemical engineering at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Spherex was originally envisioned as a toll processing business superficially in chemical upgrading – turning cannabis biomass into oil for other cannabis firms. Aieta and his team saw an opportunity to do better, since the current ways of extracting CO2 were mainly reaching an efficiency of 50 percent when scaling up to produce THC. With their experience of supercritical fluid technology, Spherex designed extraction procedures that were capable of attaining more than 95 percent efficiency in the initial year of operation.

Its initial development was aided by the co-founder of Aieta, Laura Rovetto, who was an expert in supercritical fluids, whom he had met while doing his doctorate. The founders, however, quickly understood that to make it in the business of cannabis, they had to design attractive products that could be consumed by the general population as opposed to merely offering extraction services to clients.

One decisive act was when Spherex created PHYX cannabis infused sparkling water, which it spent 2 years refining. The new product utilized new nano-emulsification technology to produce a shelf-stable beverage with 2.5 milligrams of THC with no cannabis taste or smell. The creation of PHYX was a step by Spherex to shift its vision of becoming an extraction service provider into becoming a consumer packaged goods company that would develop unique cannabis experiences.

In the 2020s, Spherex overcame crises in the industry, such as changes in regulations and market saturation. By 2020, they had developed into high-end vapes and concentrates, collaborating with dispensaries throughout the state of Colorado. It included major expansions of distillate sales in California with the intention of further expansion in the Midwest and Canadian markets. In the future, Spherex will keep up its innovations, capitalizing on Luxe Live Rosin cartridges and mushroom powdered gummies, a combination of cannabinoids with serving constituents. 

The company, led by a group of people, such as the CEO, COO, and Head of Research, among other experts, is not fully financed but self-sustaining, caring more about ethical conduct and community influence. In the modern world, Spherex reflects the concept of Aieta to integrate engineering with cannabis so that people can have their own brand of this product that is trusted and possesses high purity.

Products and Services

Vape Cartridges

Spherex’s flagship products are their vape cartridges, which are available in both distillate and LUXE Live Rosin formats. The company manufactures CCELL cartridges and PAX pods, which lead the industry with potencies on average of 85-95+ THC. All strains are run in composition and mixed to produce some consistency in flavor using the finest possible natural terpene.

The vape cartridge series consists of nine base profiles of terpenes, which target various palates and tastes, and other seasonal, limited-time offerings. Popular ones are Grand Daddy Purple (indica), OG Kush (indica), Sweet Jack (sativa), Mango Kush (hybrid), Lemon Haze (sativa), Strawberry Diesel (sativa), and Watermelon Gelato (indica). Each cart is assured to contain 100% cannabis based Delta-9-THC, and will never be diluted with PG/VG/MCT or vitamin E acetate, but will be certified by third-party laboratories.

All-in-One Disposables

The all-in-one disposable vapes are made convenient with great offerings at Spherex, including the popular Mini AIO series. They are packaged to be consumed on the go and into strain-specific concentrates of natural terpenes extracted on a solventless basis of high-profile flower strains. The disposables are as potent as the cartridges, and the THC content is usually in the range of 90%.

Dablicator Oil Dispensers

The Dablicator is a new line of concentrated consumption by Spherex. These click-to-dose applicators would be ideal for dabbing, topping flower, or infusing joints. The syringes hold pure cannabis oil, and this can be dispensed in accurate doses, which gives the user some control over dosing and, at the same time, maintains the integrity and potency of the product.

PHYX Cannabis Beverages

PHYX is one of the most innovative products of Spherex, an infused water with cannabis that employs nano-emulsification technology. Each bottle contains 2.5 milligrams of THC and an equal amount of CBD, to offer a light feeling, an uplifting mood without being overwhelming. The nano-emulsification avoids additional dose response curves like the traditional edibles; onset of effects is approximately 10-20 minutes, compared to the conventional edibles, which take around 45 minutes to 2 hours to develop.

That process required two years to refine the beverage development strategy, which was centered on designing a shelf-stable beverage that mixed cannabis oil with water without affecting the flavor. PHYX appeals directly to the canna-curious consumer market – people who have never had cannabis, or those who, at long last, have not smoked in a significant duration. This item will be packed in fine glass bottles to attract high-end consumers and make them see the product as superior to other beverages with cannabis in them.

LUXE Mushroom Gummies

The LUXE line produced by Spherex features new line products made up of cannabis and functional mushrooms. The sleep-oriented gummies are made of pure CBN and CBD isolates to achieve a specific effect of relaxation, live rosin to ensure an all-encompassing experience with cannabis, and Reishi mushroom extract. These vegan and gluten-free selections are part of the expansion of the company into functional cannabis products that meet a specific wellness requirement.

Extraction and Manufacturing Process

Spherex is engaged in state-of-the-art supercritical CO2 extraction to treat around 4,000 pounds of cannabis each month. They have a supercritical reactor, which became operational in late 2016, and it uses compressed carbon dioxide that has been accelerated to a supercritical temperature in order to extract it more effectively. The result of this extraction produces an oil containing 90% THC, extracted after winterization and distillation, which is far better than the preceding modes of extracting oil.

The extraction operation shown in the company consists of several steps: the raw cannabis material is measured and installed in the extraction unit, where it is mixed with supercritical CO2 in a tank. Cannabis oil and ethanol mixtures, which are subsequently purified, are mixed with botanical terpenes at a cooled condition. The productions are highly tested in checking the absence of solvent, microbial, heavy metal, and pesticide pollution.
