Abstract
Provided are systems and method for dosing a pharmaceutical formulation. These methods and systems can displace the pharmaceutical formulation through a density flow meter, wherein the density flow meter is configured to measure a density of the pharmaceutical formulation. Next, the pharmaceutical formulation can be dosed into preformed molds and the dosing process can be stopped when the density of the pharmaceutical formulation measured by the density flow meter is below a predetermined threshold.
Claims15
A system for dosing a pharmaceutical formulation comprising:
- a recirculation system comprising a density flow meter configured to measure a density of the pharmaceutical formulation;
- at least one pump fluidly connected to the recirculation system, wherein the at least one pump is configured to displace the pharmaceutical formulation from the recirculation system into preformed molds and is configured to stop displacing the pharmaceutical formulation when the density of the pharmaceutical formulation measured by the density flow meter is below a predetermined threshold.
A method for dosing a pharmaceutical formulation, the method comprising:
- measuring a density of the pharmaceutical formulation;
- dosing the pharmaceutical formulation into preformed molds;
- stopping the dosing of the pharmaceutical formulation into preformed molds when the measured density of the pharmaceutical formulation is below a predetermined threshold.
