FagronLab™ BASIC

Error

Troubleshooting

1

The compound rises up the stirrer shaft.

The sealing lip from the lid is damaged. Replace the lid 

with an intact one.

The air was not diminished before the mixing process. 

Repeat the compounding and diminish the air correctly 

before the mixing process. 

The foundation is known to rise (eg. Linola®, 

hydrophilic cream). Refrigerate the foundation prior the 

compounding and diminish the air correctly. 

2

A suspension ointment is not homogeneous mixed.

For the mixing process a Disp. Blade was used not the 

SMB. Always use the SMB for suspension ointments. 

The wide blades of the stirrer together with the inner 

wall of the jar breaks down agglomerate and the active 

substance dispenses homogenic.

3

The finished compound is at the organoleptic final 

quality control inhomogeneous.

Instead of micronized solid substances crystalline 

substances are used. To ensure homogeneity use the 

ointment mill or micronized solid substances.
