General description
The new Peel-Off Tissue Culture Flasks from TPP feature a 150 cm2 growth surface and a peel-off cover that allows direct access to the flask's growth surface. This unique feature makes cell retrieval easier and faster when compared to the typical, cumbersome task of retrieving cells through the neck of the flask. Also available is the 115 cm2 with barrier (height 15mm) for almost square culture surface of 115 cm2 (about 10 × 11cm). The cover material is a high-grade, non-toxic, multi-layer plastic film with outstanding transparency, allowing for microscopic examination of flask contents. The film's tear-off tab is positioned near the neck and marked "peel-off". Despite internal pressure from the inside liquid pressure, the film will remain tight and leak proof without tearing.
The flasks themselves are made from high-grade, low-toxin polystyrene with side volume graduations and a white marking space. Only the growth surface of the flask is Tissue Culture treated, eliminating undesirable adhesion of cells on the side and cover surfaces which results in fewer cell losses. The special, filtered screw cap contains a 0.2µm hydrophobic membrane, pretreated for liquid repellence, allowing for optimal gas exchange even when the membrane comes in contact with liquid.
Features
