Ampoule Filling Services for Various Industries

ReAgent has been providing ampoule filling services in the UK for almost 50 years. 

Ampoules contain and protect small samples of a product. They are ideal for single-use applications, and for ensuring protection from the environment. The reason our ampoules are made from glass instead of plastic is that glass is impervious to gases and other contaminants.

Suppliers and clients alike can benefit from glass ampoule filling, with:

  • Compatibility with a wide range of flammable and non-flammable liquids, including those sensitive to environmental exposure and other chemical solutions.
  • Hermetic, airtight sealing that protects chemicals against airborne contaminants for a cleaner, safer, and longer preservation of the product
  • Efficient transportation process
  • Ampoules of more sensitive products can be nitrogen-purged to retain the highest quality

Why Choose Glass Ampoules

Widespread manufacturing of glass ampoules provides the perfect chemical packaging solution for businesses requiring single-use products. Their size, portability, and ease of use mean that ampoules have a wide range of uses. They can be used:

  • For holding and preserving product samples
  • As part of a product test kit
  • As training materials in healthcare
  • To hold air sensitive reagents
  • To contain particularly hazardous liquids
  • For standard reference materials

Our ampoules are often used in medical training. This is because a disposable ampoule is an efficient and accurate way to train students to prepare, calculate, and administer drugs. ReAgent manufactures glass ampoules for medical training programmes across the UK.

Our Glass Ampoule Filling Process

At ReAgent, our glass ampoules are filled using an automated ampoule filling machine. The machine uses a flame to melt the top off each individual ampoule, making it ready for filling. 

The machine then injects the chemical into each glass ampoule, and a second flame hermetically seals it (meaning it makes the ampoule airtight) to protect the contents from external contaminants.

You can watch how we fill our ampoules in this video.

The team at ReAgent took the time to fully understand all of our needs before offering a solution. They made a potentially difficult project very easy. In a word: brilliant!
