Name/Title
Vitamina B12-100 (cyanocobalamin) intramuscular injection glass ampoule, rose-tintedEntry/Object ID
2025.1.249Description
A single drawn, flame-sealed glass ampoule with a rose/pink cast, formed as a slender vial body tapering into an elongated neck that closes in a rounded sealed tip (the tip slightly darker/amber). Printed dark-ink lettering on the body reads "VIT. B12," with a second line beginning "700…" that is only partly legible. The ampoule holds liquid contents, deep pink-red in tone — consistent with cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) solution, which is characteristically that color. By its marking and 1 ml ampoule form, the unit is a Vitamina B12-100 injectable matching the product of the box in Record 1. Whether the rose coloration belongs to the glass, the contents, or both is not resolvable from the image. The ampoule is intact and unopened.Use
