Recommended Mixing Equipment For Pharmaceutical Gels

By Christine Banaszek

Hydrogels based on natural polymers (like starch, alginates, guar gum and carrageenan) and synthetic polymers (such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylic acid and polyethylene glycol) are widely used in wound care, drug delivery, tissue implants, cosmetic, dental and many other applications.

Efficient and thorough blending in a well-designed Double Planetary Mixer is an ideal method for preparing high-purity hydrogels with superior batch-to-batch consistency, short cycle times and minimal clean-up.
