Opening a glass ampul with your hands—even if the ampul is prescored—is an injury waiting to happen.

But you can help avoid accidental cuts and chemical exposures by using the Restek Safe Cracker.

Slide the Safe Cracker over the ampul tip until it reaches the score line on the ampul neck.

Holding the ampul in one hand, pull the ampul tip toward you with your other hand.

Transfer the ampul contents into an appropriate container.

It's that easy!

Sized for ampuls from 1 to 10 milliliters, a Safe Cracker is included with every shipment of Restek reference standards.
