In an embodiment, a user operated pneumatic sterile liquid compounding device enables a user to easily and rapidly perform a sterile liquid compounding operation. The frame of the device is configured to receive a syringe with a needle inserted into a sterile vial. A pneumatic cylinder including a pusher rod connected to a pusher plate engages the top of the syringe plunger. Initially a user-operated lever is in an 'UP' position. When the lever is moved to a “DOWN” position, the device engages the pusher plate to move the plunger down to inject the liquid in the syringe into the sterile container. The compounding device is powered by pressured gas from a cartridge via an adjustable pressure regulator, a pressure release valve, and a pneumatic cylinder valve connected to the pneumatic cylinder to allow pressured gas applied to the pneumatic cylinder to raise and lower the rod.
