Pharmaceutical Ampoule Filling Services

An ampoule is a small glass bottle that contains a liquid drug which is mainly used for injection in hospitals. Glass is typically used as it is a material that does not normally react with its contents, and it ensures content within the bottle is of high purity. Once filled, glass ampoules are hermetically sealed by melting the thin top with an open flame and usually opened by snapping off the neck.

Ampoules made of other materials are becoming more widespread as they offer options not available with glass ampoules such as easier travel, recloseable features, the use of injection molded technology, and in some applications the ability to offer different products in the same ampoule strip.
