Product Description
Fit more culture volume on every shaker platform: these high-efficiency Erlenmeyer flasks use a compact footprint-to-volume design so more cells grow in the same incubator space. Available in 2L, 3L and 5L sizes with flat or baffled bottoms and sealed or vented caps.
This listing is for NEST catalog number 787005: 5L High Efficiency Erlenmeyer Shaker Flask, Polycarbonate, Baffled, Plug Seal Cap, Sterile, Case of 4 (4 x 1). Each flask is molded from clear USP Class VI polycarbonate with molded graduations and closed with a USP Class VI polypropylene plug seal cap or a vented cap with a 0.22 µm hydrophobic filter. Flasks are double-bagged to cut contamination risk in production areas and E-beam sterilized to SAL 10^-6. They are autoclavable (vent caps excepted) and made in a cGMP, ISO 13485 facility with ISO 7 cleanroom molding and lot testing for pyrogens, cytotoxins and nucleases. LIGHT LABS stocks the NEST Scientific line and ships quickly from our Englewood, Colorado team.
