The present invention provides a weighing cup structure and a method for measuring amount of dispensed material using the weighing cup structure. The weighing cup structure is adapted for a dispensing amount measurement device of a dispensing apparatus, for receiving the material to be measured. The weighing cup structure comprises a cup body and a material-receiving platform. The cup body defines an accommodating space, and the material-receiving platform projects from the accommodating space. The top surface of the material-receiving platform is planar and has surface roughness. Friction between the material and the top surface is greater than friction between the material and an inner wall of a dispensing needle of the dispensing apparatus. The present invention effectively solves the problem of residual material during dispensing, ensuring complete removal of the material and accurate deposition onto the material-receiving platform, thereby improving measurement accuracy.

The present invention relates to a method for gathering a number of articles with a target total weight, the method comprising supplying articles to a plurality of weighing units in order to obtain measured weight values in articles, performing combinatorial calculations on the basis of the measured weight values to select a combination of these measured weight values the sum of which coincides with the target weight; and gathering the articles of the weighing units the measured weight values of which are part of the combination, wherein the weighing units are conveyor elements that are movable by levitation with respect to a work surface, capable of following different trajectories between at least two areas of the work surface of which one is a loading area, in which the articles are supplied to the weighing units; and another is an unloading area, in which the weighing units that are part of the combination dump their content to at least one article collector.

Methods and systems for efficiently packing pharmaceutical products (e.g., vials) so as to reduce changeover times and reduce if not eliminates waste related to work in process inventory, defects, motion, and transportation and waiting times, particularly for capacities ranging between 10 and 70 Units per Minute.

Weighing and filling machine (1) for weighing and filling a container (100), in particular a pharmaceutical container, comprising: - a transport device (2) for continuously transporting a container (100) in a transport direction (101), wherein the transport device (2) comprises at least one transport device receptacle (20), - a filling device (3) for filling the container (100) with a filling product, in particular a liquid, - a weighing device (4) configured to determine a tare weight of the container (100) and a gross weight of the filled container (100), wherein the weighing device (4) comprises a separate tare weight determination device (40) and a separate gross weight determination device (41), wherein the tare weight determination device (40) and the gross weight determination device (41) are each provided with a plurality of load cells (42), - wherein the transport device (2) and the weighing device (4) are synchronously movable relative to each other, so that the tare weight and / or the gross weight of the container (100) can be determined during the continuous transport of the container (100), characterized in that - that the transport device (2) and the tare weight determination device (40) are arranged relative to each other such that a linear path on which the transport device receptacles (20) move and a circular path on which the load cells (42) of the tare weight determination device (40) move touch exactly at a point or at a location where a transport device receptacle (20) and a load cell (42) are present and - that the transport device (2) and the gross weight determination device (41) are arranged in such a way that the linear path on which the transport device receptacles (20) move and a circular path on which the load cells (42) of the gross weight determination device (41) move touch exactly at a point or at a location where a transport device receptacle (20) and a load cell (42) are present.

A system for pharmaceutical compounding, includes a workspace surface having an outer boundary, a display embedded within the workspace surface, the display having a plurality of edges that are impermeably sealed between the workspace surface, a computing device providing a user interface to the display, an enclosed housing extending from the outer boundary of the workspace surface and having an opening for a user to access the workspace surface, and an air filtration system providing a negative pressure airflow within the enclosed housing. The display is flush with the workspace surface. The system may further include a gravimetric scale positioned on the workspace surface, a cabinet attached to a first side of the enclosed housing, a label printer coupled to the computing device and positioned within the cabinet, and / or a code scanner coupled to the computing device and positioned within the cabinet.

A pharmaceutical order processing system, components thereof, and associated methods for filling a prescription order. The pharmaceutical order processing system includes a lower insert placer, a syringe placer, a dosing cup placer, a pharmaceutical container placer, and / or an upper insert placer. The lower insert placer places a lower insert into a box. The syringe placer places a syringe into a syringe compartment of the lower insert. The dosing cup placer places a dosing cup into a dosing cup compartment of the lower insert. The pharmaceutical container placer places a pharmaceutical container into a pharmaceutical container compartment of the lower insert. The upper insert placer places an upper insert into the box after the box has received the lower insert and the lower insert has received the syringe, the dosing cup and the pharmaceutical container.
