[A device for safe handling of vacuum-dried microbes (author's transl)].

By analogous application of the way of packing which is common for the transportation of infectious material (glass tubes in protective covers) in the handling of vaccuum-dried microbes (ampoule within the ampoule) the risk encountered when opening such receptacles may be reduced to an almost complete absence. Technical details are explained by a schematic representation. The method is suitable for the preservation of freeze-dried vaccines. All processes involved in the practical performance of the method which is ready for routine application are considered in detailed instructions for use.
