Description
DURAN® Culture Flask, Erlenmeyer shape with straight neck for metal caps is a specialised laboratory glassware item for microbiology work. This 1000 ml vessel is manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3 and offers a large, flat base that maintains uniform medium layer thickness, essential when preparing pure culture media for microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa or viruses. The conical geometry makes the flask especially suitable for shaking experiments, including media optimisation studies. Its straight neck enables straightforward fitting of metal caps as well as Kapsenberg® caps. A clearly legible graduated scale with permanent white print, fired into the glass for lasting durability, supports accurate volume measurement. The culture flask from manufacturer Duran/DWK Life Sciences is applied in the preparation of nutrient media and cultivation, initiation of cultures, liquid culture techniques, mixing of several components and determination of liquid volumes. Irradiation of media with IR or UV light can accelerate culture growth when required in biological and medical laboratory settings.

Questions about DURAN® Culture Flask Erlenmeyer shape, straight neck, for metal caps
What is this article?
DURAN® Culture Flask Erlenmeyer shape, straight neck, for metal caps is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes DWK Life Sciences for laboratory use. It sits in Cell culture flasks, inside Cell culture, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A culture flask is a flat vessel with a cap, treated so adherent cells attach, or untreated for suspension cells. Growth area in square centimetres, the cap filter or a plug seal, and the treatment are the specification. A filter cap allows gas exchange. A plug seal does not.
Cell culture grows cells outside the body. The medium, often with serum, supplies what the flask does not. A flask or a dish is the vessel, treated so the cells attach or left untreated so they float. Contamination by microbes, or by another cell line, is the ordinary failure. Cold-chain articles in this work, including serum, are never part of free standard delivery. Lines are catalogued by ATCC. Papers are on PubMed. Practice is summarised by the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
