FagronLab™ PRO
Suppositories
With the mixing program "Suppositories" suppositories compounds mixtures can be dispersed.
The suppositories foundation can be warmed in a water bath directly in a transparent jar and afterwards stirred with the
FagronLab™ to the soft melting point. An applicator long aids in the precise filling of the suppository mould. For a batch
approximately 5 % to 10% added allowance is recommended.
Soft in Soft
With the mixing program "Soft in Soft" semisolid substances from low-viscous to pasty can be mixed together.
As an example, combining two foundations.
To ensure a homogeneity we recommend applying disp. blades for low-viscous and the standard mixing blades for high-viscous
foundations.
NRF
The menu option "NRF" is loaded with mixing programs for selected semi-solid NRF formulations.
DAB / DAC
The menu option "DAB/DAC" is loaded with mixing programs for selected DAB, DAC formulation and standard preparations.
Stored Programs
The menu option "Stored Programs" gives the possibility to enter the mixing time and the mixing speed in six different mixing
parameters to create an individual mixing program. It is also possible to enter the mixing program using a known or before created
ID number.
Specialties
With the mixing parameters "Specialties" surface-active or sensitive active substances or force sensitive foundations can be
processed.
Therefore with suspension ointments < 2% first use the "pre-grinding" parameters and for the main mixing parameters
"specialties".
Requirements for the components of a formulation
Powder
Generally, powders should be used as microfine and micronized substances.
In order to ensure better wetting of powders in aqueous compounds, micronized substances should be added after any liquid
components or covered with foundation.
For a solids content less than 2 %, we recommend applying the pre-grinding process together with approx. 30 % of the ointment
foundation (review pre-grinding).
