Description
Product Overview
The Celltreat 229340 Tissue Culture Treated Flask is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern cell biology laboratories. Constructed from high‑quality borosilicate glass, the flask provides excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability, ensuring that it can withstand repeated autoclave cycles and a wide range of experimental conditions. Each flask is gamma‑irradiated and sealed in a zip‑closure bag, guaranteeing a sterile environment from the moment it is opened. The 50 mL capacity, combined with a 75 cm² growth surface, offers a balanced ratio of medium volume to cell attachment area, making it suitable for both routine sub‑culturing and more specialized assays.
The distinctive plug seal cap design incorporates a secure, leak‑proof silicone plug that can be easily accessed without compromising sterility. This feature reduces the risk of contamination during media changes, sampling, or reagent addition, and it also simplifies the workflow for technicians who need to perform multiple manipulations on the same flask. The canted neck geometry further enhances accessibility, allowing pipette tips and other lab tools to reach the interior of the flask with minimal obstruction.
Usage
Designed for a broad spectrum of cell culture applications, the Celltreat 229340 flask excels in environments ranging from academic research labs to industrial biotech facilities. Its uniform hydrophilic surface promotes consistent cell attachment, which is critical for experiments that rely on reproducible cell morphology and growth kinetics. Researchers can confidently use this flask for adherent cell lines, primary cultures, and even delicate stem cell populations that require a gentle yet reliable substrate.
Because the flask is supplied sterile and ready for immediate use, it eliminates the need for additional sterilization steps, saving valuable time and reducing the potential for user‑introduced contaminants. The 50 mL volume is ideal for medium‑intensive protocols such as transfection, drug screening, and metabolic assays, while the 75 cm² surface area provides ample space for cells to proliferate without reaching confluence prematurely. The robust construction also makes the flask suitable for incubation on standard orbital shakers, rotary platforms, and even specialized bioreactors when a glass vessel is preferred.

FAQ
What does “plug seal cap” mean and how does it benefit my workflow?
The plug seal cap is a silicone‑based closure that fits tightly into the flask’s neck, creating a hermetic seal that prevents leaks and contamination. It can be opened and resealed multiple times without compromising sterility, making media changes, sampling, and reagent additions straightforward and safe.
Is the flask compatible with standard incubators and shaking platforms?
Yes. The flask’s dimensions and glass composition are designed to fit standard CO₂ incubators, orbital shakers, and rotary platforms. Its robust construction tolerates the mechanical stresses of shaking while maintaining a stable environment for cell cultures.
Can I use the flask for stem cell or primary cell cultures?
Absolutely. The uniform hydrophilic surface provides a gentle yet effective substrate for delicate cell types, including stem cells and primary cultures, helping to maintain cell viability and phenotype during expansion and differentiation protocols.
How many flasks are included in the case and what is the packaging?
The product is supplied as a case of 100 individual flasks, each sealed in a gamma‑irradiated zip‑closure bag to preserve sterility until the point of use.
What warranty or replacement policy does Celltreat offer?
Celltreat provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If a flask arrives damaged or fails quality checks, customers can request a replacement through our dedicated support team, which aims to resolve issues within 48 hours.
