ampulen. 
  •  a small glass bottle which has been or can be sealed hermetically by application of flame to a narrow opening at the top.
    "aAn ampule usually has a narrow constriction near the top which can be scored and easily broken to open the ampule. Once opened, they cannot be hermetically re-sealed; thus the quantity contained is usually that which is to be used at once or within a short time. The contents are often sealed under vacuum to retard degradation by air."  [WordNet 1.5]
  •  an ampule, or vial resembling an ampule, which contains a drug.  [PJC]
