Falcon Canted Neck Cell Culture Flask 600 ml 150 cm2 Case of 40 Flasks

Falcon® 150 cm² Rectangular Canted Neck Cell Culture Flask with Vented Cap (600 mL) – Case of 40

The Falcon® 355001 Cell Culture Flask is a premium, industrial-standard vessel engineered for the dependable scale-up of anchorage-dependent (adherent) cell lines. Featuring a 150 cm² nominal growth area and a 600 mL total volume capacity, this rectangular flask utilizes a proprietary vacuum-gas plasma tissue culture (TC) treatment to create an exceptionally uniform, hydrophilic surface chemistry that promotes consistent cell attachment, spreading, and kinetic proliferation. Built from optically clear, virgin polystyrene, it delivers flawless microscopic visualization. Shipped in a bulk case of 40 flasks (sub-packaged in medical-style, peel-open sterile bags of 5), this T-150 footprint is a core consumable for high-density mammalian cell culture, protein expression workflows, and downstream bioprocessing applications.

Technical Performance & Architecture

• Vacuum-Gas Plasma TC-Treatment: The growth surface undergoes an advanced plasma treatment process to introduce oxygen-containing functional groups onto the polystyrene backbone. This yields a highly consistent negatively charged surface that mimics the natural extracellular matrix environment for predictable scale-up.
• Canted Neck & Low-Profile Geometry: The ergonomic canted neck angle minimizes the risk of pouring splatters and allows a standard serological pipette or cell scraper unhindered access to all interior corners, maximizing total cell harvest yields while preventing dead-zone retention.
• Continuous 0.2 µm Vented Closure: The 33mm blue cap integrates a high-performance, hydrophobic 0.2 micron membrane. This barrier permits optimal, uniform gas exchange ($O_2$ and $CO_2$) for cellular respiration while maintaining absolute sterility and protecting against environmental contaminants or aerosol cross-contamination.
• Anti-Tip Stacking Stability: Precision-molded base and rim ridges allow for secure, interlocking stacking. This geometric feature maximizes vertical incubator shelf utilization and prevents accidental slipping or tipping when moving high-density stacks between the hood and the incubator.

• Scratch-Resistant Smart Packaging: The medical-style, peel-open inner bags are manufactured from innovative, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) materials designed not to scuff or scratch the flask’s optical windows during transit, safeguarding crystal-clear microscopic monitoring.
• Traceable Inventory Management: Each individual flask features a highly visible, frosted white writing patch for labeling, crisp vertical volumetric graduations, and a printed lot number to support strict cGMP compliance and batch traceability records.
