- Twelve (12) two-piece caps.
- Fifteen (15) dri-gauze filters.
Features:
- The Tunair™ polypropylene Erlenmeyer Flask Systems are a unique and patented flask and closure system, designed for microbiology and biotechnology applications.
- This system provides optimum growth conditions for aerobic microorganisms, mammalian cells, and plant cells.
- They also provide better culture growth and productivity than standard Erlenmeyer flasks.
- The Tunair™'s high oxygen absorption rate is due to the unique baffling and turbo-vane closure design.
- The Tunair™ flask systems are designed to increase the availability of dissolved oxygen as well as improve cell yields.
- The Half-Baffle Shake Flask has two baffles that produce a vortex motion.
- The working volume is 100 ml.
- The Dri-Gauze filter is 0.22 microns and is constructed of nitrocellulose.
- Each filter can be used 10 - 12 times.
- The Dri-Gauze filters can be autoclaved in the cap.
The two-piece cap assemblies are constructed of polypropylene and are resistant to most solvents. All flasks and caps are fully autoclavable prior to reuse and filter linings can also be autoclaved or simply replaced. To replace the filter lining in the cap assembly, simply pinch the flanges of the inner-closure shell until they snap loose. Then, pull apart and remove the used lining. Replace the lining by sandwiching it between two parts of the cap and snap the cap back together. When reassembling the cap, ensure the flanges from the inner piece snap into the mated grooves in the outer piece. This will ensure the cap assembly stays together during use. 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.
