Coretec Group signs lease for laboratory

ANN ARBOR—Officials at Coretec Group Inc., (OTCQB: CRTG), developers of engineered silicon and 3D volumetric displays, announced the company has signed a lease for a wet laboratory in the same building as its corporate offices in the MI-HQ building in Ann Arbor.

The laboratory will have the necessary equipment for air sensitive chemistry including a fume hood, Schlenk line, and glove box, as well as other common synthesis tools such as a rotary evaporator and centrifuge. Construction on the laboratory space is progressing and the dompany has begun acquiring lab equipment. The landlord anticipates the space will be ready for occupancy by the end of December.

The laboratory will enable Coretec Group to produce cyclohexasilane (CHS) and silicon quantum dots as well as conduct experiments. The data gained from these experiments will be useful to meet the customers’ needs as well as spawn further innovations. In addition, the laboratory will be a useful tool for the company’s CHS battery development.
