Microbiology (Cultivation)

The LABSOLUTE® baffled flasks are made of high-quality borosilicate glass 3.3 and are therefore especially temperature and chemical resistant. The four baffles on the bottom cause a turbulent flow increasing the gas exchange surface and producing a higher oxygen transfer. The autoclavable flasks can be used with all common laboratory shakers.

Erlenmeyer shape. Including PP screw cap.

• Fastening material included

Made of flexible polystyrene. With ultra-smooth loops for problem-free planting and streaking of cultures. Free of lubricants, oils and electrostatic charges, enabling consistent and complete liquid transfer. Ergonomic design of the loops for optimal grip and an easy orientation of the loop head. Needle end shape is perfect for picking off individual isolated colonies and suitable for making stab inoculations into agar slants or tubes of solid culture medium.
Package: 10 bags of 10 pieces

For easy plating.

SILICOSEN^® and BIO-SILICO^® are specially processed culture plugs in sterile rubber with continuous bubbles for preparation, filling and sterilisation of culture media. Their uniform pore structure and good air permeability make them excellent for the cultivation of aerobic microorganisms.

The choice between SILICOSEN^® and BIO-SILICO^® culture stoppers depends on the requirements of the application. SILICOSEN^® culture stoppers have low water evaporation which makes them particularly suitable for long term cultures. BIO-SILICO^® culture stoppers have high air permeability, similar to cotton plugs. Both types are chemically resistant, temperature resistant, liquid repellent and reusable.
Superb permeability and fits tight onto the media container due to sealing lip, where importance is placed on mounting quality. Suitable for shaking cultures.
