Laboratoires Quinton are pharmaceutical laboratories dedicated exclusively to the preparation of cold microfiltered seawater. The direct heirs of biologist and physiologist René Quinton, the Laboratoires are distinguished by their scrupulous respect for their founder's original method, which has been brought up to European Pharmacopoeia standards. The Laboratoires welcome all requests for further information on Marine Therapy and the use of Quinton specialties.
The laboratory and production site are only 25 km from the Mediterranean coast, yet theyextract seawater more than 680 km from our facilities a little further north, in the Bay of Biscay . This area was specially chosen for its natural richness, which favors the appearance of phytoplankton and zooplankton. The biological richness of this location enables us to integrate nutrients into the food chain, thus increasing the bioavailability of inorganic nutrients.
What's more, as this point is far from the coast, it avoids sources of pollution linked to industrial and agricultural activities and wastewater discharge. Once the seawater has been extracted from a carefully chosen location and filtered in situ, a refrigerated truck transports the raw material to the Quinton Laboratories.
It then undergoes strict analytical control to ensure that it is free from pollutants, and undergoes double cold microfiltration to eliminate microorganisms . These operations are necessary to guarantee safe seawater. What's more, the microfiltration process serves to preserve the qualities of seawater and the organic matter it inherently contains, prevents the appearance of free radicals, and avoids the precipitation of certain minerals such as calcium and magnesium salts.
The same effect occurs when we use other treatments, such as heat and ultraviolet rays, which are responsible for the irritation or dehydration processes used in other seawater-based products.
The seawater used by Laboratoires Quinton is taken from a specific area of the Bay of Biscay, more than 680 kilometers from the laboratory's facilities near the Mediterranean coast. This area has been carefully selected for several key reasons:
This precise choice reflects Laboratoires Quinton's commitment to guaranteeing a raw material of unrivalled purity and quality, in compliance with the strictest pharmacopoeia standards.
Once extracted, seawater undergoes a series of rigorously controlled treatments to preserve its natural biological properties and ensure its wholesomeness.
Seawater is immediately filtered at the point of extraction to remove the coarsest impurities. It is then transported in refrigerated trucks specially designed to maintain an optimal temperature, ensuring that its organic richness is preserved until it arrives at the laboratories.
On receipt, the seawater is subjected to a battery of rigorous analyses to verify the total absence of chemical, microbiological or organic pollutants. This control guarantees absolute sanitary safety before the subsequent treatment stages.
Unlike other treatment methods (using heat or ultraviolet rays), Laboratoires Quinton favors double cold microfiltration. This key process preserves the intrinsic qualities of seawater by keeping the organic matter it contains intact. This treatment :
This scientific approach guarantees safe, highly bio-available seawater, suitable for the most demanding therapeutic uses.
Many seawater-based product treatments use heat or UV techniques to eliminate pathogens. However, these methods have several major drawbacks:
By using only cold microfiltration, Laboratoires Quinton preserve the biological and therapeutic integrity of seawater, ensuring optimal efficacy without undesirable side effects.
Seawater prepared by Quinton Laboratories retains all its natural properties, in particular :
Quinton Laboratories' products are widely used in Marine Therapy, a natural therapeutic approach that relies on the benefits of seawater to support health and treat various physiological imbalances. Applications include :
