title: Analysis of particulate contamination in ampoules using a light blockage particle analyser.
abstract: A method of opening ampoules without introducing particles has been developed and the level of particulate contamination in a number of ampoule solutions using a light blockage particle analyser (HIAC) has been determined. Low levels of contamination were found and a method of setting limits of particulate contamination in ampoules is suggested.
