Abstract: A method of preparing a glass medical container is provided including the steps of providing a glass blank and forming a channel through a part of the glass blank, the channel being substantially free of tungsten or derivatives thereof. In a further aspect of the subject invention, a glass medical container is provided including a glass body having a channel extending through a part of the glass body, the channel being substantially free of tungsten or derivatives thereof. With the subject invention, tungsten or derivatives thereof can be generally or altogether completely avoided in glass medical containers.

Abstract: A plate with housings for receiving objects for bulking, each housing being delimited by lateral walls and comprising a support zone for receiving the object for bulking. Each housing is formed by a cell with the lateral walls delimiting the cells adjoining one another from one cell to an adjacent cell and extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the plate. Each cell is shaped to at least partially receive the proximal part of an object for bulking and each cell immobilizes each object for bulking.

Abstract: This assembly of elements comprises a plate with housings for receiving the objects for bulking, each housing being delimited by lateral walls and comprising a support zone for receiving the object for bulking. According to the invention, each housing is formed by a cell; the lateral walls delimiting the cells adjoin one another from one cell to an adjacent cell and extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the plate; each cell is shaped in order to at least partially receive in it the proximal part of an object for bulking; and each cell comprises at least one means for immobilizing each object for bulking.
