  Ampoules, small glass bottles sealed tight to maintain ampoule quality, are essential in industries such as medicine, chemicals, and skincare. Ampoule testing ensures the safety and efficacy of medications stored in these fragile glass containers. Here are some key things to know:     Types of Ampoule Tests:  -  Leak testing : Crucial to ensure container integrity and prevent contamination. Methods include vacuum/pressure decay tests detecting even tiny leaks. -  Break force testing : Measures the force required to break the ampoule cleanly, ensuring safe and controlled opening by healthcare professionals. Standards like ISO 9187 specify minimum/maximum breaking force limits. - Dimensional testing: Verifies dimensions of ampoule like wall  thickness , neck diameter, height, overall diameter,  perpendicularity , and tip shape meet specifications for consistent filling, sealing, and opening. - Hydrolytic resistance: When tested in a...
