flc

English translation: vial

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:flc (flacone)
English translation:vial
Entered by: Julianne Rowland

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
Italian term or phrase: flc
Here's the context:

Allegato A2 per la Soluzione Campione di Cytosar 100 mg flc
Allegato A3 per la Soluzione Campione di Cytosar 500 mg flc
Allegato A4 per la Soluzione Campione di Cytosar 1 g flc

I don't know what 'flc' stands for in this case. I suspect it may not need to be translated, but would appreciate confirmation or correction.

Sorry: ampoule is referring only to the water for injection container. Definitely "vial"

Thank you everyone for your answers. Marie-Hélène's answer and cocotier's answer are both correct, with the same level of confidence, same number of agrees, and same time of submittance, so it's difficult to award points to just one. However, in this case, I am going with cocotier because the reference cites the exact product I am dealing wth, which is a big help. Grazie ancora a tutti!

in effetti 500 mg è circa 0,5 litri e quindi forse solo "bottle" è meglio

Explanation:
Gian is absolutely correct that flc = flacone, and that the normal translation for this is "bottle". However, as in this case a very small quantity is involved (500 mg is half a gram, not half a litre), I'd be inclined to translate it as vial.
