Corning Polycarbonate Erlenmeyer Flask
Overview
The Corning Polycarbonate Erlenmeyer Flask is designed for large-scale liquid handling and shakers. Constructed from optical-grade polycarbonate, these vessels provide the clarity of glass with the durability and safety of shatter-resistant plastic.
Highlights
- Optical-grade polycarbonate construction for high-clarity monitoring of contents.
- Shatter-resistant design enhances laboratory safety compared to traditional glassware.
- Molded-in graduations for accurate volume estimation during media preparation.
- Designed for compatibility with orbital shakers and automated liquid handling systems.
At-a-glance
- Form
- Rigid vessel
- Condition
- Surplus/second-hand; stored under manufacturer-recommended conditions.
Applications
Commonly utilized in cell culture for the suspension of mammalian and insect cell lines. These flasks are also frequently employed for media preparation, reagent storage, and large-scale microbial fermentation within orbital shaking incubators.
Sustainability
By rehoming surplus lab products, this listing supports waste reduction and resource efficiency.
Responsible use & safety
- Require training/authorization before use.
- Inspect before operation; do not use if safety features are compromised.
- Follow manufacturer's manual for operation and maintenance.
- Equipment-specific guidance (e.g., keep airflow clear, replace filters regularly, decontaminate after use).
