FagronLab™ Standard Mixing Blade (SMB)
FagronLab™ Disposable Blade (Disp. Blade)
FagronLab™ jar
The FagronLab™ SMB’s are adjusted to the size of each individual FagronLab™ jar.
For jar size 100 ml and 200 ml use the same SMB, also the 300 ml and 500 ml jars
share a SMB.
Before each use make sure the SMB used has the correct length, and the blades
are clean prior using them (e.g. cleaning with isopropanol 70%).
The SMB is suitable for the production of all kinds of formulations. We
recommend especially for suspension ointments and pre-grinding the use of the
standard mixing blade.
The FagronLab™ Disp. Blade is suitable for all FagronLab™ devices. The one time
use mixing blade is connected to the disp. blade shaft by pushing it down and
twisting the blade counterclockwise, it can be disconnected after the mixing
process with a clockwise turn.
The material contact in the ointment is three times higher due to the three times
amount of blades when using the Disp. Blade compared to the SMB at the same
mixing speed. The counter rotating twist of the mixing blades causes intensive
material vibration, therefore a better distribution in the material to be mixed
and achieves good product quality faster than using the SMB. However, we
recommend using the same mixing time as for the SMB.
In the obligated process of final quality control the mixing blade can be removed
and discarded or left inside the jar. Cleaning is limited to the Disp. Blade shaft.
We also recommend using the Disp. Blade for substances that may discolor the
regular blade.
This type of stirrer also comes with different shaft lengths. Every shaft is
imprinted on its thinner end with the associated range of jar sizes, 15-100 ml and
200 ml.
Disp. Blades are specially suitable for compounding emulsion, gels and "soft in
soft" formulations. For suspension ointments and pre-grinding is recommended
the use of SMB.
The FagronLab™ jar is both, a mixing and a dispensing jar, and is therefore designed as a disposable jar. The jar guarantees
evaporation free and contamination free preparation in an air reduced mixing space.
The FagronLab™ jar lid closes the jar tightly to prevent evaporation and therefore loss of active ingredients. Used as a
dispensing jar, the jar corresponds to the guidelines for quality assurance from the German Chamber of Pharmacists
("Apothekerkammer").
With its small dispensing opening, comparable to a tube and without an environmental contamination surface, the jar
guarantees the minimization of negative quality interference demanded by section 13, ApBetrO (Pharmacy Operation
Regulations); including those caused by germs on fingers when dispensing the ointment. Therefore, the user can remove
very hygienically the ointment from the jar.
