Description
DURAN® Penicillin flask with a nominal volume of 4 l is a specialised culture vessel for microbiology applications in biology and medicine. Made from borosilicate glass 3.3, it features a large, flat base that keeps the medium layer thickness uniform so microorganisms can grow evenly across the entire surface. The neck is bent upwards, which reliably prevents liquid culture medium from running out during handling or incubation. The generous liquid surface area improves aeration and thereby supports faster growth of bacteria, fungi, protozoa or viruses. The flask is intended for preparation of nutrient media, pure-culture work and liquid cultivation; optional IR or UV irradiation of the media can further accelerate development. Offered as a single unit from manufacturer Duran/DWK Life Sciences, this penicillin flask combines robust glass construction with a geometry optimised for controlled microbial growth and media preparation in research and clinical laboratories.
This article is part of Flat-bottom flasks, in Beakers & flasks.

Questions about DURAN® Penicillin Flask
What is this article?
DURAN® Penicillin Flask is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes DWK Life Sciences for laboratory use. It sits in Flat-bottom flasks, inside Beakers & flasks, in Labware.
A flat-bottom flask stands on the bench without a cork ring, which a round-bottom flask will not do. It is for heating on a plate and for simple setups. It is a poorer shape than a round bottom for even boiling under vacuum.
A beaker is an open working vessel: easy to pour, poor as a measure. An Erlenmeyer flask has a flat base and a conical wall so a liquid can be swirled without climbing out. A round-bottom flask is for heating under a condenser, because the heat meets a curved wall and the joint at the neck connects to the rest of the glassware. Borosilicate is the glass that survives the temperature change. These forms are listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
