Corning Culture Flask with Vent Cap 2L Sterile Case of 6 Flasks
The Corning 431255 Culture Flask is a large-volume laboratory vessel designed for the cultivation of cells and microorganisms in a sterile and controlled environment. This flask has a substantial capacity of 2 liters (2000 mL), making it suitable for larger-scale cell culture applications, media preparation, and fermentation processes.
A key feature of this flask is its vented cap. This cap facilitates sterile gas exchange, allowing for the passive diffusion of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is essential for supporting cell growth in culture. The vent filter within the cap also acts as a barrier, preventing the entry of airborne microbial contaminants and maintaining the sterility of the flask's contents. While the specific material is not explicitly stated in the name, Corning's large culture flasks are typically made from durable, optically clear plastics like polycarbonate or polystyrene. The flask is supplied sterile, guaranteeing a contamination-free environment upon opening.
This Corning culture flask is an essential tool for researchers and bioprocess professionals in fields such as biotechnology, vaccine production, and academic research, providing a reliable and convenient platform for scaling up cell cultures and other liquid handling procedures.
