I need to culture cell in a completely filled flask because it will be put in a shaker and to avoid mechanical stress due to bubbles or convective flow I was searching for a flask that will use less media volume.
Normally a t25 has a capacity of 84cm3, I have found one that has 30cm3 (https://www.diagnocine.com/Product/iPTEC-Flask25/54583) but costs 4 time more than the common one.
There is also a similar concept used in another type of flask (Nunc OptiCell) that has a capacity of 10cm3, but it got discontinued.
Hello Domiziano Tosi,
Please refer to the link below for flask of 25cm^2 growth area with a total volume of 30cm^3. Corning, product no. 430639.
https://ecatalog.corning.com/life-sciences/b2c/US/en/Surfaces/Advanced-Cell-Culture-Surfaces/Corning%C2%AE-and-Costar%C2%AE-Cell-Culture-Flasks/p/430639
It is priced at $464.34 per case. These flasks are 200/case.
The iP-TEC Flask-25 is priced at $498.78 per 100 (10 bag x 10) which falls much more expensive than Corning flask.
Best.
Hello @Malcolm Nobre,
Thank you for taking the time to help me with this!
I checked the specifications, and the total volume does seem to be approximately 80 cm³ (LxWxH; ~6 cm x 5 cm x 2.5 cm).
I think there might have been a bit of confusion between the graduation range and the total volume, so I just wanted to clarify.
Thanks again for your input—I really appreciate it!
