What are Ampules and Why are Ampules Still Used? | |
Custom ampule-filling is one of Sarchem’s most popular services. This post will explore why ampules are so popular and the role can they serve in a variety of applications. First, the basics: Ampules are similar to vials and were developed in the 1500s to be used for medicinal purposes. Lab ampules are able to preserve the contained material by extending the shelf life of the liquid or solid sample. Ampules are typically made from borosilicate glass and can be clear or amber, with the latter used for light-sensitive samples. Glass, as opposed to plastic, is used for its resistance to chemicals and liquid solutions, heat sterilization — as well as its near-unlimited life span. Pre-scored ampules have a tightened stem for opening, removing the need for filing.Because both straight-stem and funnel-type ampules are open, sterilisation is required before custom ampule filling services. Clients use Sarchem’s ampules and custom ampules to extend the shelf life of samples. Ampules are also versatile in use, as they can hold a range of materials (including compounds that are air- or water-sensitive) for varying applications in medical or analytical labs. | |
