Micro‐ampoules: A novel method for the scalable fabrication of micro‐rod‐capsules made from edible materials is described. The capsules closely resemble ampoules by having multiple compartments loaded with oils (see picture). Such novel micro‐ampoules could find application in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical or food industries.
