Celltreat 229500 Suspension Culture Flask 0.22μm Vent Cap Sterile 25mL

Description

Product Overview

The Celltreat 229500 suspension culture flask is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern cell biology laboratories. Constructed from high‑quality borosilicate glass, the flask offers exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability, ensuring that it can withstand a wide range of experimental conditions without compromising integrity. Its 25 mL capacity is optimized for suspension cultures, providing enough volume for robust cell growth while remaining compact enough for efficient use of incubator space. The flask comes equipped with a 0.22 μm hydrophobic membrane vent cap, a critical feature that allows for controlled gas exchange while preventing microbial contamination. This vent cap is designed to maintain a sterile environment throughout the culture period, reducing the risk of external contaminants entering the system. Each flask is gamma‑irradiated and sealed in a zip‑closure bag, guaranteeing sterility from the moment it leaves the manufacturing facility. The product is supplied in cases of 200, making it an economical choice for laboratories that require large quantities for high‑throughput screening or routine cell culture workflows.

Usage

Designed specifically for suspension cell lines, this flask excels in applications where cells are grown in a free‑floating state, such as hybridoma production, virus propagation, and stem cell expansion. The hydrophobic vent cap facilitates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, essential gases for cellular metabolism, while the 0.22 μm filter barrier prevents the ingress of airborne microbes. Researchers can confidently use the flask for short‑term batch cultures as well as longer‑term continuous cultures, thanks to its robust construction and reliable sealing mechanism. The sterile packaging eliminates the need for additional sterilization steps, saving valuable time and reducing the potential for handling errors. The flask is compatible with standard laboratory equipment, including orbital shakers, incubators, and autoclave racks, allowing seamless integration into existing workflows. Its clear glass walls enable easy visual monitoring of cell density and morphology without the need to open the container, thereby preserving sterility throughout the experiment.

FAQ

What types of cells are best suited for this flask?

The flask is ideal for suspension cell lines such as hybridomas, CHO cells, and stem cells that do not require attachment to a surface. It also works well for virus production and other applications where cells grow freely in the medium.

Can the vent cap be reused after the initial use?

No. The vent cap is designed for single‑use applications to ensure sterility. For subsequent cultures, a new flask with a fresh vent cap should be employed.

Is the flask compatible with standard incubator shelves and shakers?

Yes, the flask’s dimensions conform to common laboratory equipment standards, allowing it to be placed on incubator shelves, orbital shakers, and other standard platforms without modification.

How does the gamma‑irradiation process affect the flask’s performance?

Gamma‑irradiation sterilizes the flask without altering the glass composition or the integrity of the vent cap filter. This ensures that the flask retains its mechanical strength and gas‑exchange capabilities while being free of viable microorganisms.

What is the recommended storage condition for the sealed flasks?

Store the sealed flasks at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. The zip‑closure bags protect the flasks from moisture and dust, preserving sterility until use.
