How do glass ampoules ensure maintaining quality of the contained drug?
Liquid pharmaceuticals are always in need of superior standard for both manufacturing and packaging. And thus it is highly required to take care of the primary packaging means. Cleanliness and dimensional accuracy along with hydrolytic resistance of packing medium should strictly be in compliance with the essential criteria. The medium to be used for pharmaceutical purposes should be made of a material that won’t release any particles into the contained pharmaceuticals. Also the particles from the contained item shouldn’t be migrated into packaging material. And that is why glass ampoules are the most preferred and widely accepted medium for packaging liquid pharmaceuticals. Glass ampoules are usually made of type I tubular glass owing to its unique chemical composition. And the sophisticated process of manufacturing employed ensures the ampoules attain maximum hydrolytic resistance which is an eminent indicator of its inner glass surface’s resistance capability to the water
