Corning Culture Flask 175 cm2 Vented Cap Angled Neck Sterile Case of 50

The Corning 431080 Culture Flask is a specialized laboratory vessel designed for the cultivation of cells in a sterile and controlled environment. This flask offers a substantial cell growth area of 175 cm², making it suitable for culturing larger populations of adherent cells for various research and bioprocessing applications.

The flask is constructed from clear polystyrene, a common material for cell culture labware due to its optical clarity, which allows for easy microscopic observation of cell growth. A crucial feature of this flask is its vented cap. This cap facilitates sterile gas exchange, ensuring that the cells receive adequate oxygen and that metabolic gases like carbon dioxide can escape, all while a filter within the cap prevents the entry of microbial contaminants, maintaining the integrity of the cell culture. The flask is supplied sterile, guaranteeing a contamination-free environment for sensitive cell lines upon opening.

This Corning culture flask is an essential tool for researchers and scientists in fields such as cell biology, drug discovery, and biotechnology, providing a reliable and convenient platform for growing and maintaining cells that require a significant growth surface and controlled gas exchange.
