• Working volume: 1–35 mL
• Start small suspension cell cultures directly from frozen stocks
• Suitable for bacterial, yeast, and suspension cell cultures (static or shaking)
• Conical bottom for easy pelleting
• 0.22 µm PTFE filter membrane for sterile gas exchange
• Five adjustable openings (A–E) to regulate ventilation as needed
• Fits in standard 15 mL centrifuge rotors
• Dual-purpose: culture and spin in the same tube
• Saves on consumables compared to Erlenmeyer flasks and transfer tubes

Advantages

• Superior gas exchange and defined ventilation control
