Pharmacy Category:
Unguator, Compounding

Revolutionizing the compounding environment has been the main focus of the Unguator technology. Our aim is to facilitate the quality preparation of formulations developed in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, veterinary, and other similar settings. Utilizing this system allows for compounds to be prepared in a fraction of the time and cost associated with other conventional methods.

The Unguator EMP offers an advanced mixing technology in a closed system that optimizes your formulation mixes. This consistent mix is achieved when preparing a variety of formulations including ointments, creams, gels, suspensions, emulsions, and other similar compounds.

The Unguator product assortment also consists of a unique set of mixing jars. These jars are easily distinguished by their patented piston principle push up bottoms. This bottom forms a closed environment, eliminating air intakes and germ contamination, two factors that are commonly associated with manual preparation. These jars serve as multi-functional tools to measure, mix, store, and dispense your compounded formulations.

The standard mixing blades used with the Unguator technology are designed to "sweep" the inner wall of the jar during the mix to maximize particle size reduction and the breakup of globules in your preparation.
