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-grin-
ding is recommended the use of SMB.
gako unguator Jar
The gako unguator 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 gako unguator 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 contami-
nation 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.
The gako unguator Disp. Blade is suitable for all gako unguator
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 ma-
terial 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.
