Grow More Cells with Corning!
Corning® RoboFlask™ Cell Culture Vessels

roboflask

Corning RoboFlasks are robotics compatible cell culture flasks offering 92.6 cm2 cell growth surface area. The flasks are designed for use in automated cell culture systems utilizing a microplate-size format and are compatible with the Tecan Cellerity™ Cell Maintenance and Assay System. (Click here to learn more about the Tecan Cellerity System.) RoboFlask vessels may also be utilized manually in stacks of up to 8 units to maximize the use of incubator space.

Benefits:

  • Smaller footprint and less than half as thick as a T-75 flask but has 23% more growth area
  • Removable septum cap for both automated systems and manual applications
  • Septum cap ensures sterility through multiple entries
  • Microplate-size footprint for automation
  • Bar coded for traceability
  • Built-in hydrophobic vent membrane for efficient gas and liquid exchange
  • Available with choice of standard tissue culture treatment or with Corning® CellBIND® Surface treatment for improved cell attachment

The robot friendly flasks are compatible with many Tecan automation options including the RoMa arm on the Freedom EVO® and the AutoLoader™.

The pierceable cap of the Corning RoboFlask vessel helps maintain a sealed environment on the Tecan Cellerity System during media exchange. It can be removed for manual access.

Gas Exchange Port: A 2.2cm2 hydrophobic venting membrane provides a sterile barrier and ensures proper gas exchange. This membrane will not wet out unless submerged under pressure or comes in contact with organic solvents such as ethanol.

Septum Cap: The septum cap allows for adding or removing cells and solutions with a blunt tip cannula while reducing the opportunity for contamination. The septum is pre-split to prevent coring of the septum by the cannula. The cap allows pipette access (up to 5mL) to assist in harvesting of cells.

Media Recovery Slope:
Molded into every RoboFlask vessel is a 2° slope for easier media and cell recovery.

Space Saving Design: RoboFlask is only 18mm thick! Eight RoboFlasks occupy less incubator space than four T-75 flasks but offers 440 cm2 more growth surface.
