Description
Product Overview
The BD Falcon Polystyrene Cell Culture Flask is engineered for high‑performance cell culture applications. Constructed from clear, non‑pyrogenic polystyrene, the flask provides a chemically inert surface that supports optimal cell attachment and growth. A 175 cm² growth area and 750 mL capacity accommodate medium‑to‑large scale experiments. The blue vented screw cap incorporates a 0.2 µm hydrophobic membrane, allowing gas exchange while maintaining sterility. Volumetric graduations and a writing patch enable precise media preparation directly on the vessel. Each flask is sterilized by gamma radiation, guaranteeing a contaminant‑free environment from the first use.
Usage
Designed for research laboratories, biomanufacturing facilities, and academic institutions, this flask supports routine cell culture, stem cell maintenance, and pilot‑scale production. The straight neck facilitates easy transfer of cells and media, and the vented cap reduces the risk of pressure buildup during incubation. Ideal for adherent and suspension cultures, the flask meets the needs of microbiology, oncology, and vaccine development workflows.
