IBI Scientific SS-5011 TUNAIR No-Baffle Polypropylene Erlenmeyer Flask 2.5 L

The TUNAIR™ polypropylene Erlenmeyer flask systems are a unique and patented flask and closure system, designed for microbiology and biotechnology applications. The No-Baffle Shake Flask has a normal throw similar to a standard Erlenmeyer flask.

Additional Product Description:

The flasks are constructed of polypropylene and resistant to most solvents.

All TUNAIR™ flasks and caps can be cleaned by soaking in water with a light detergent solution to loosen dirt and contaminants, then air dry.

Additional options are available that come with caps and filters.

Key Details:

• Normal throw
• Constructed of polypropylene

Material:

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

2.5 Liter flask:

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

No-Baffle: 

The bottom inside of the flask is smooth and flat. This configuration will generate a single vortex within the media inside the flask when fastened to an orbital shaker. The shaker will need to operate at speeds above 160 rpm in order to form that vortex in the media.

Cap & Filter assembly: 

Once you have the 2-piece cap assembly apart place the corresponding filter size inside the cap and the re-assemble the inner and outer cap pieces making certain to align the tabs with their associated holes. Once clipped into place, make certain the filter completely covers the cap assembly openings. 

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.
