Thermo Scientific™ Nalgene™ Polycarbonate Baffled Culture Flasks

Description
Increase mixing efficiency using Thermo Scientific™ Nalgene™ Polycarbonate Baffled Culture Flasks, an alternative to glass flasks that produce equivalent growth curves with E. coli and S. cerevisiae. Rugged, shatterproof construction and light weight compared with glass make these flasks a valuble element of lab safety programs.
- Polycarbonate is break-resistant and clear; easy to read graduations help identify liquid level with ease.
- Bottom baffles provide increased mixing, aeration, and gas exchange.
- Flasks are excellent for a variety of lab procedures, including fermentation, cell culture grown and harvesting, and generic engineering procedures.
- 500 and 100mL sizes accept either standard 38mm stainless-steel or plastic closures for versatility.
- Flasks are autoclavable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Before autoclaving, be sure to thoroughly rinse off any trace of chemicals or detergents. Include a final rinse with distilled water. Always use minimum temperatures and cycle times. DO NOT exceed 121 degrees C/15 psig (1.03 bar). After repeated autoclaving, Nalgene Polycarbonate labware will show some loss of mechanical strength. Nalgene Polycarbonate labware can also be gas or chemically sterilized, but it should NEVER be dry heat sterilized.
NOTE: Before autoclaving, just set cap or closure on top of the container without engaging the threads.
