AOT is an enhanced version of the original AO safety ampoule opener. AOT can be custom made to fit the exact size of your ampoule you are opening. AOT offers all the safety features that AO does, but gives the user the added option of having a safety base. AOT will open an ampoule with or without using the safety base. AOT can be made in varied sizes in a range of: 0.5 up to 30mls. AOT is not a universal opener, it is only made for a specific size of ampoule. This degree of engineering gives us a clean break every time.
AOT can be a two part system incorporating a safety holding/mounting base and the opener, similar to the AO original design. The base is designed like the AOP base, to hold the ampoule in a port safely at all times where the ampoule cannot fall over. Like AOP the base is designed to catch the opened neck too, but in the ampoule holding port. This allows easy disposal of both the empty ampoule and neck in one simple action with a double port base into a sharps container after all procedures have been completed. Our needle cap holding system is not an additional option for AOT models, normally.
AOT Base designs are available in single, double, base holding capacitities and other custom designs to suit your procedural needs are available. AOT can be made with a single size opener on it or dual types: like a 1 ml and 5 ml or other sizing needs. AOT can be easily built to your specific sized ampoules within our fast custom manufacture abilities at Low cost and short turn around time of 72 hours. AOT models are available in small volumes from 1 – 500 units. Greater than this we produce AOT with injection moulding tooling. See AOT and Promotional use below.

Detailed Specifications
Compatibility: AOT is our test model of AO. We can make AOT to suit any size and type of ampoule on the world market. This is our rapid development model that we can make within 78 hours, normally of receiving your samples or specifications of your ampoule’s. This allows a client to test the compatibility and suitability of AO before a decision to purchase our product in larger volume. Once the sample is approved we would then proceed to producing product in injection molded form for your requirements.
Performance: AOT performs exactly like our AO injection molded design, but looks slightly different. It is designed to open an ampoule on the bench top, with the ampoule unsupported. It is used exactly like AO. The only difference is the alignment tab when using OPC or DIN type ampoule’s (those with single painted dot on the neck of the ampoule). AOT has a raised mini tower at the back of the top. When placing the ampoule into AOT the dot must be facing the rear tower, centered on the tower. If this alignment is correct the ampoule will open correctly. IF NOT, it will not open and could get jammed in the opener.
Other types of ampoule need no alignment, they can go in any direction.
Should you need the ampoule supported we can supply the unit with its own mini base, similar to the AO+ design, this is called AOTB. Contact sales for more details.
Chemical resistance: AOT is made from a chemically resistant resin structure. It can be cleaned with most cleaning compounds and can be fully immersed if required, then air dried is preference.
Sterilization: At this time it is unknown if AOT can be sterilized, testing has not been undertaken to date.
Model Range: AOT can be custom made to suit any size and type of ampoule, all we need is for you to send us the specifications and samples of your ampoule’s. Samples required: prefer 6-12 per size. Contact sales for further information and shipping details.
Pricing: Model sizing capabilities can range from 0.5 ml to 30 ml of ampoule’s. Prices will range from: $ 6 – 35 USD. Quantities available for testing can range from 1 – 20.
We will offer considerable discounts to large potential purchasers on individual discussion.
