The Highest Sample Integrity for Long-Term Storage

Ampules

WHEATON ampules are all glass containers that can be hermetically sealed

to preserve sample purity and extend sample shelf life. WHEATON ampules

are ideal for standards packaging, environmental and diagnostic standards,

lyophilization and cryogenic storage. These ampules protect against sample

contamination due to their tamper-evident seal. A Gold Band

on the stem

of the ampule indicates that the ampule is pre-scored to facilitate snapping

off the top of the ampule eliminating the need to file the ampule. The ampule

line includes pre-scored, standard, glass Cryule

cryogenic ampules and

Vacule

lyophilization ampules. WHEATON can also design a custom ampule

to fit your special requirements.

Sample Traceability

Using WHEATON Cryule

Cryogenic Ampules

■

Glass ampules provide the highest sample integrity for long-term storage.

Since ampules are not provided pre-bar coded, WHEATON provides

customization of bar codes according to customer specifications.

■

A ceramic two dimensional (2D) or linear bar code can be applied to

the ampule. The ceramic bar code is durable when used in extreme

temperatures.

■

2D bar codes are machine readable symbols of rows of encrypted data

arranged in a rectangular or square pattern that stores large amounts

of data.

■

Linear bar codes are black and white vertical bars located on the side

of the ampule that contain various amounts of data ranging from simple

number chains to large amounts of numeric and alphanumeric data sets.

■

Number sequencing on bar codes is guaranteed not to duplicate.

■

Once the 2D bar code is applied to the ampule, the bar code can be

scanned and read using the WHEATON SingleScan

™

(Cat. No. W986000)

or the WHEATON PluraScan

™

Bar Code Reader (Cat. No. W986010).

■

Bar code identification can be simply stored in a Microsoft

Excel

file or

any other data collection system.

■

WHEATON can also manufacture a custom ampule and provide critical

cleaning and sterilization services.
