Single-step process
For pharmacists who are looking for a simple, fast, and affordable solution for mixing, deaeration, and melting, the gako PM140 is a revolutionary device that combines those functions in a single-step to standardize the compounding process, ensuring safety, quality, and efficacy for compounded preparations while saving time and money for the pharmacy.
Mixing
Introducing the gako PM140 - a user-friendly device for preparing formulas in under 60 seconds! With its closed mixing jar and no need for blades, it ensures content uniformity and stable emulsions. Say goodbye to formulation issues like creaming, sedimentation, flocculation, and coalescence. Achieve perfect homogenization for optimal rheological properties.
Melting
The gako PM140 can melt gelatin, suppository, and vaginal inserts bases in one simple step: the base can be placed together with the APIs and other necessary ingredients in the PM jar. A pre-melting process with external heat e.g a water bath is recommended - the PM jars are suitable up to 85° C.
Deaeration
The gako PM140 deaerates emulsions, gels and ointments in 45 seconds, ensuring the removal of macro-bubbles from those formulations.
Reproducible and easy operation
- either in seconds: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 90
- or in minutes: 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or 15
- reproducible mixing time
- easy documentation of your mixing process
- insert the PM mixing vessel
- close the lid
- press start
- automatic stop after set duration is done
Workflows
standalone or with other equipment
The gako PM140 can be used on its own or in a combined workflow with other compounding equipment, such as the gako unguator or other devices or molds required for the preparation of semisolids or molded and melted solids dosage forms.
The gako PM jar 100ml HV is a sterile and disposable mixing jar made of polypropylene, designed for deaeration and mixing of gels, creams, and ointments.
Special features
The gako PM jar 100ml HV features a movable bottom that allows for easy elimination of remaining volume by pushing it upwards, minimizing air exposure.
It is also compatible with gako unguator devices, enabling it to be used with low-soluble APIs and to prepare suspension formulas. It, therefore, eliminates the need to transfer the compound from the gako unguator jar to the gako PM jar 100ml HV.
As the jars are disposable, they can serve as primary packaging, streamlining compound delivery to patients, reducing the number of tools to clean, saving time, and preventing material loss during transfers.
Optimal Capacity and Performance
With a mixing capacity of up to 100 ml, it provides an internal nominal volume of 140 ml to facilitate particle movement and enhance its performance during the process.
Heat Resistance and Safety
It demonstrates heat resistance of up to 85°C, allowing for safe use in hot water baths when heat application is necessary for the formulation. You can rely on this jar for efficient and secure compounding procedures.
- Movable bottom, reducing air contact
- Applicable high-viscosity compounding
- Designed to be performed in mixing and deaeration processes
- Compatible with gako unguator
- Sterile, indicated by the sterile|EO label
- Convenient as a primary packaging option
- Heat resistance up to 85°C in hot water baths
The gako PM jar 125ml HV+LV is a specially designed mixing jar for low-viscosity preparations. It is a sterile and disposable jar, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and convenience.
Multiple Applications
This jar is primarily intended for melting suppository preparations and mixing more fluid formulas. However, it is also suitable for other preparations such as creams, ointments, and gels. Its versatility makes it a valuable tool for various compounding processes.
Optimal Capacity and Performance
With a mixing capacity of up to 125 ml, the gako PM jar 125ml HV+LV provides an internal nominal volume of 180 ml. This design allows for better particle movement and enhances performance during the compounding process.
Heat Resistance and Safety
The gako PM jar 125ml HV+LV demonstrates heat resistance of up to 85°C, making it safe for use in hot water baths when heat application is necessary for the formulation. You can rely on this jar for efficient and secure compounding procedures.
