Particulate contamination in plastic ampoules
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1986 Abstract Plastic ampoules of Water for Injections, JP, and Injection Sodium Chloride, JP, were investigated to determine their particle load. Four batches were studied. The ampoules were twist-opened as they would be in the clinical setting and the total particle load, both inherent and that created in opening, was determined by reading ...
