Corning's next-generation space-saving
flask
Low-profile flask features Corning Cellbind surface, optimises storage and incubator space and enables increased lab efficiency
Corning has announced the low-profile flask featuring its premier Cellbind surface This revolutionary new product utilises a similar footprint as the current T-75 flask but creates 100cm2 of surface area, enabling customers to realise a 50 percent space savings when using low-profile flasks compared to standard T75 flasks (three low profile flasks -300cm2 versus four standard T75 flasks -300cm2)

Surface promises enhanced cell attachment
Highly stable surface provides greater cell yields and reproducibility, making it easier to grow fastidious cells under difficult conditions, such as reduced-serum or serum-free medium
Low tech approach to cell culture scale up
Expanded product offering means less capital investment and further accommodates customer requirements for manufacturing flexibility and ease of use
The low-profile flask, accessible with a 10-millilitre pipette and small scrapers, also provides customers with one-half turn cap closure for improved lab efficiency and features sterile venting, which allows for CO2 exchange with the cap securely fastened.
Additionally, the flask is able to stand on either its end or sides, helping customers to work more easily with multiple flasks at one time.
"Conducting research with the typical flasks available can be both a time consuming and laborious undertaking," said Joseph Donze, business manager, DDP and cells, Corning Life Sciences.
"Leveraging input from our global customer base, we have developed a unique flask that provides all the convenience and safety requirements they demanded to help them work more efficiently in today's rigorous laboratory environment.
"We are very pleased with the positive feedback we have received to date and are confident researchers around the world will continue to quickly incorporate this new technology into their everyday practices.".
