Yes, you can. In flasks designed for adherent cells, you can culture suspension cells, such as the Jurkat cell line. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

Coating: Adherent cell culture flasks often have a treated surface to facilitate cell adhesion. This coating is unnecessary for suspension cell cultures, as these cells are designed to grow freely in the medium. However, the coating typically does not harm suspension cells.

Flask design: Suspension cell culture flasks are typically designed with a larger base to allow more area for the cells to move freely. Adherent cell culture flasks have a smaller base. While this difference doesn't necessarily prevent you from growing suspension cells in adherent cell culture flasks, you might see a slightly different growth pattern due to the different flask designs.

Sterility and Cross-Contamination: If you are reusing flasks that previously contained adherent cells, ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized to prevent any cross-contamination.

Growth monitoring: The growth of suspension cells can be easily monitored by taking a small aliquot from the culture medium, making it more straightforward to count and assess viability than adherent cells.

In conclusion, while you can grow suspension cells in adherent flasks, for optimal growth and health of the cells, using flasks designed for suspension culture is recommended when available.

I suppose you can. I had cultured U937 cells using T25 culture flasks. As per my observation some of the cells adhered during culture condition (mine was RPMI media supplemented with antibiotic and antimycotic) but upon gentle tapping the t25 flask they can be easily dislodged.
