The new mission of the company will be "PharmaSol - the solubility people", and the main proprietary technologies used are the drug nanocrystals (Nanopure®) and the lipid nanoparticles - nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC®).

Other technologies, such as the brain targeting delivery system (PathFinder®), the stable biocompatible adjuvant (SBA) for vaccines and the cosmetic IP (Nanopearls for the delivery of cosmetic actives and formulation of sunscreens), are for sale.
