- In this video, I will show you how to make and how to use a breakseal ampoule. You can use these ampoules to store and transfer highly reactive chemicals without exposing them to air or moisture.
I am not a scientific glassblower. Nothing in this video is meant as an introduction. If you have any tips or criticism, I would love to hear them!

It's probably a good idea to flip the direction of the bubble and the location of the breaking element, so that you don't lose a lot of(solid/liquid) material on the "lip" after it breaks.
Damn I was just thinking about these commercial cesium ampoules and wanted to make a breakseal ampoule myself. Thanks for sharing this awesome video!
No problem! :)
How strong are commercial breakseal ampoules in your experience? I have an ampoule of 50g of cesium I bought and I would like to play with it molten more often but I'm worried about the momentum of it sloshing around would crack the breakseal (similar to water hammer). Have you ever had this happen, and should this be something to worry about?
I never worked with a commercial breakseal ampoule so I can't tell you how robust they are. But for the reason you mentioned I would be careful when handling it. Especially if there is a vacuum inside the ampoule. The liquid cesium can exert a lot of force when sloshing around.
