Polystyrene 250 ml Treated Culture Flask ADVANGENE with Canted Neck

Description

Product Overview

The ADVANGENE Polystyrene 250 ml Treated Culture Flask is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern cell culture laboratories. Constructed from high‑quality treated polystyrene, each flask provides a chemically inert surface that promotes cell attachment and proliferation while minimizing background interference. The flask offers a generous 75 cm2 growth area, which translates to a substantial culture surface within a compact 250 ml volume, allowing researchers to maximize experimental throughput without sacrificing space efficiency. The canted‑neck design facilitates effortless media exchange, sample retrieval, and inoculation, reducing the risk of spillage and contamination. Uniform wall thickness ensures optical clarity for precise visual monitoring under a microscope, and the integrated plug cap creates a hermetic seal that protects cultures from airborne contaminants and evaporation. Each package contains 25 flasks, meticulously packed to preserve integrity during shipping and handling. The product complies with ISO 9001 quality management standards, reflecting ADVANGENE’s commitment to consistent manufacturing excellence and traceability.

Usage

These flasks are ideally suited for a broad spectrum of cell culture applications, including adherent mammalian cell lines, primary cell cultures, and stem cell maintenance. Researchers in academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology settings can employ the flasks for routine sub‑culturing, drug screening assays, and high‑content imaging studies. The 250 ml capacity accommodates standard culture volumes ranging from 20 ml to 175 ml, providing flexibility for both small‑scale pilot experiments and larger batch productions. The canted‑neck geometry simplifies the use of pipettes and automated liquid handling systems, enabling seamless integration into high‑throughput workflows. The plug cap’s secure sealing mechanism is compatible with standard incubator environments, maintaining a stable temperature and CO₂ concentration while preventing media evaporation over extended culture periods. Because the flask walls are optically clear, users can monitor cell confluence and morphology directly without removing the flask from the incubator, preserving sterility and reducing handling time.

FAQ

What types of cells are compatible with this flask?

The flask is suitable for a wide range of adherent cell lines, including mammalian, insect, and plant cells, as well as primary cultures and stem cells that require a treated polystyrene surface for optimal attachment.

Can the flask be used with automated liquid handling systems?

Yes, the canted‑neck geometry and standard plug cap dimensions are compatible with most robotic pipetting platforms, allowing seamless integration into high‑throughput workflows.

Is the flask autoclavable?

The flask is designed for single‑use applications and is not intended for repeated autoclaving. For reuse, a thorough cleaning protocol with appropriate solvents is recommended, but performance may vary.

How does the ISO 9001 certification benefit me?

ISO 9001 certification ensures that the manufacturing process follows strict quality management standards, providing consistency, traceability, and reliability across all production batches.

What is the recommended storage condition for the flasks?

Store the flasks in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Keeping them at room temperature (15‑25 °C) preserves the treated surface integrity until use.
