Summary of the Product:
VWR® Cell Culture Flasks are expertly designed to support a wide range of cell and tissue culture applications. Available in non-treated and TC treated versions, these flasks are ideal for both attachment-dependent and suspension cell cultures. Their innovative design ensures ease of use, stability, and reliable results, making them an essential tool in any laboratory.
Description:
VWR® Cell Culture Flasks are constructed from high-quality polystyrene (PS) and are available in both non-treated and TC treated versions to accommodate various cell culture needs. The non-treated flasks are perfect for suspension cell cultures where cell attachment is not required, while the TC treated flasks provide an enhanced surface for optimal cell attachment and growth.
These flasks are designed with user convenience and efficiency in mind. The flask surface is flat and free from striations, maximizing the usable growth area. The innovative angled neck design allows easy access for pipettes and cell scrapers, reducing the risk of contamination and improving handling. The triangular top with a wide base provides stability during use, while the frosted area near the neck allows for easy marking and writing.
For laboratories utilizing Thermo Fisher incubators, the VWR® Cell Culture Flasks are an ideal fit, with specific models designed to optimize the use of incubator space by allowing three flasks to be placed in parallel on each floor. All flasks are 100% integrity tested and sterilized by electron beam irradiation, ensuring they are free from DNase, RNase, and non-pyrogenic, meeting the highest standards of quality and safety.
The TC treated flasks offer an increased cell attachment surface, which is highly hydrophilic, providing a significant advantage for cells that may adhere poorly due to their phenotype or stressful culture conditions. This makes them suitable for applications requiring additional biological coatings for attachment.
