OPTIMUM GROWTH™ FLASKS

Whether you’re scaling up from culture plates or preparing inoculation volumes for larger cultures, Optimum Growth™ flasks provide the ideal environment for insect and mammalian cells. With up to 60% fill volume, increased volume per shaker, and improved cell viability, you get more cells in less time and space. Paired with transfer caps and sampling ports for aseptic handling outside the laminar flow hood, they support a seamless workflow.

KEY FEATURES

• Baffles for high oxygen transfer and low shear stress
• Same footprint as equivalent Fernbach flasks
• Less foam formation than Fernbach flasks
• Transfer caps connect directly to culture bags or bioreactors via quick connects, luer locks, or tubing welds
