IBI Scientific SS-5013 TUNAIR Full-Baffle Polypropylene Erlenmeyer Flask 2.5 L

TUNAIR™ Polypropylene Erlenmeyer Flasks: Superior Growth and Productivity

The Full-Baffle TUNAIR™ Polypropylene Erlenmeyer flask system, by IBI Scientific, is a patented solution designed for microbiology and biotechnology applications. These Erlenmeyer flasks offer optimal growth conditions for aerobic microorganisms, mammalian cells, and plant cells, surpassing standard flasks in culture growth and productivity.

Features:

• High Oxygen Absorption: Unique baffling and turbo-vane closure design enhance dissolved oxygen availability and improve cell yields.
• Enhanced Design: Six baffles create a propeller motion, ensuring efficient mixing. Working volume is 1L.
• Durable Material: Made from polypropylene, resistant to most solvents. Explore polypropylene lab equipment for additional products.
• Easy Maintenance: Clean by soaking in water with a light detergent, then air dry. Caps and filters are sold separately.
• Optimize your lab with TUNAIR™ polypropylene Erlenmeyer flasks for superior performance and reliable results.

Material:

All TUNAIR flasks are constructed of chemical resistant polypropylene. All flasks are fully autoclavable.

2.5 Liter flask:

Allows for approx. 1 liter (max) of working volume for culturing cells

Full-Baffle:

The bottom inside of the flask has 6 raised baffles. This configuration will generate 4 small propeller vortexes within the media inside the flask when fastened to an orbital shaker. The full-baffle configuration allows for slower operational rpm of the shaker while maintaining the vortexes within the media. The full-baffle flask is ideal for growing E.coli providing superior growth rates and cell densities.

Attaching the flasks to your shaker: 

IBI TUNAIR flasks can be used with nearly all standard shakers and shaker clamps. The 2.5-liter flask typically fits best into the 2-liter shaker clamp.

Preparing and Cleaning the TUNAIR flask: 

Your TUNAIR flasks are constructed of polypropylene plastic which allows them to be autoclaved. Once you have prepared your media inside the flask you can place the cap & filter on the flask and insert into the autoclave. Set the autoclave for wet cycle.   

Once you have harvested your cells, wash the TUNAIR flask in a mild dish soap such as Dove Dish Soap then rinse well with DI water.
