Product type
Ampoules and vials are small, sealed containers typically made from glass, designed to hold liquids, powders, or other substances. They are commonly used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and laboratory industries to store and preserve sensitive materials. The sealing process ensures that the contents remain uncontaminated and stable over time.
| Material | Borosilicate glass or soda-lime glass |
| Volume capacity | 1 mL to 100 mL |
| Closure type | Crimped, screw-on, or snap-on |
| Neck finish | Standard or custom neck finishes |
| Sterilization method | Autoclaving or gamma radiation |
When selecting ampoules and vials, consider the material type based on the chemical compatibility with the contents. Specify the required volume capacity and closure type to ensure proper sealing. Additionally, inquire about sterilization methods if the product is intended for medical or laboratory use. Certifications for pharmaceutical use may also be necessary, depending on the application.
