  • Publication number: 20230165755
    Abstract: Apparatus for drug preparation, comprising: a first rotor adapted to support a first container for the drug and available, in a releasable manner, on the first rotor; a second rotor adapted to support a plurality of second containers, each containing a respective ingredient; pumping means, controllable by a control unit so as to transfer each ingredient from the respective second container into the first container; a weighing device, adapted to weigh the first container and comprising a translation means, a loading cell and at least one spacer adapted to support the first container. In a condition where the spacer supports the first container by decoupling it from the first support element, the loading cell is adapted to continuously generate, during the transfer of the ingredient, a quantity indicative of a weight force.
