[DWK Life Sciences] Product Overview

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. DWK Life Sciences 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, DWK Life Sciences 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. ■ DWK Life Sciences can also manufacture a custom ampule and provide critical cleaning and sterilization services.
