The Evolution of Compounding Pharmacies in the Age of Nanotechnology

As nanotech transforms modern medicine, compounding pharmacies are no longer just customizing hormone therapies or pediatric suspensions—they’re engineering the next generation of targeted, high-performance pharmaceuticals.

But with that opportunity comes serious challenges:

🚫 Traditional mixers can’t achieve the sub-micron particle sizes needed for true nano-formulations.

⚠️ Cross-contamination risks skyrocket with high-potency APIs used in nano-doses.

🧪 Batch consistency and reproducibility become mission-critical for clinical trial batches and patient-specific medicines.

🔥 Thermo-sensitive compounds degrade easily without vacuum mixing and drying.

🧼 Regulatory demands mean even small labs must meet GMP, CIP, and traceability standards.

At PerMix, we recognized early that the pharmaceutical industry—especially compounding pharmacies, hospital labs, and biotech innovators—needed more than off-the-shelf solutions.

They needed customizable, pharma-grade equipment that scales seamlessly from benchtop R&D to clinical batch production.

✅ That’s why we engineered a full line of laboratory and pilot-scale mixers, dryers, and emulsifiers, specifically for:

• Nanoparticle suspensions

• Liposomal and lipid-based drug delivery systems

• Thermo-sensitive or oxygen-sensitive APIs

• High-viscosity emulsions and semi-solids

• Micro-dose actives with high shear requirements

Our pharma-grade systems include:

🔹 Vacuum Planetary Mixers with programmable speed, temp, and shear

🔹 High-Shear Lab Emulsifiers for nanoscale blending

🔹 Vacuum Ribbon & Paddle Mixers/Dryers for powder drying and homogeneity

🔹 Conical Screw Mixers for fragile, low-shear nano blends

🔹 GMP-Ready CIP Systems with polished 316L contact surfaces

🔹 Load cell integrations and PLC/HMI controls for full batch validation

💡 Need to validate a formulation or test a new compound?

We offer live or virtual product demos, pilot testing, and full-scale GMP packages with IQ/OQ documentation.

From benchtop innovation to clinical-grade production, PerMix empowers compounding pharmacies to lead the future of nanotechnology in pharmaceuticals—with confidence.
