Sixth Wave Reports Increased Capacity for its Affinity System

Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW) (OTCQB: SIXWF) (FSE: AHUH) ("Sixth Wave", "SIXW" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on expected production capacities of its Affinity™ System (the "System") for purification of cannabinoids.

Ongoing refinement of bead formulations, which has been undertaken concurrently with the finalization of Standard Operating Procedures and Affinity™ machine production, has resulted in an increase in expected production capacity for the Company's Affinity™ System.

Affinity™ bead capacities in excess of 800mg of cannabinoids per kilogram of Affinity™ beads have been achieved in repeated testing using multiple pre-production lots of beads, and at multiple column sizes. These increased capacities allow for significantly increased capacity of the System with reduced System size/complexity, overall footprint, and cost of operation. Consistent, and repeatable loading capacity across different column sizes and configurations indicate stability of the process and the potential to scale up the size of Affinity™ Systems to meet any customer demand.

Based on current standard operating procedures, the baseline System is now expected to be capable of processing approximately 14kg of high purity distillate every 10hrs of operation, or in excess of 30kg/day, representing a significant increase over the System's previously announced 20kg/day production capacity. Customers should expect some variations in performance due to variations in input materials though the System will retain flexibility to optimize for each installation's unique operation.

"This increased Affinity™ bead capacity will yield numerous benefits beyond the obvious increase in production yields," noted Dr. Jon Gluckman, President & CEO of Sixth Wave, "This will also result in significantly reduced ethanol usage which will facilitate an easier installation, reduced safety and site certification concerns, reduced solvent recovery requirements, and overall implementation for our customers."

Affinity™ nanotechnology bead production has successfully been transitioned to a larger scale production reactor in the Company's Proving Lab. The batch record has been finalized and is under safety and waste disposal qualification with the Company's toll manufacturer. Pilot production activities will begin at the toll manufacturer once the qualification has been completed. The manufacturer will validate the production at a scale similar to that of the Proving Lab reactor and then transition to a larger scale production reactor which will be capable of yielding upwards of 300kg of Affinity™ polymer per day (enough beads to fill over 35 Affinity™ Systems).

The Affinity™ beads have undergone repeated loading and unloading cycles and show no material changes in performance. To date, no contaminants have been found to poison or otherwise influence the overall purification process when following the standard operating procedures (SOP) indicating the potential for long-term usability unlike other resins and in particular chromatography media.
