Corning® Erlenmeyer Shake Flasks | Disposable Flasks for Shaker Cell Culture Applications and Storage | Corning

Corning disposable Erlenmeyer flasks are sterile, ready to use, and ideal for shaker culture applications and storage. All of our disposable Erlenmeyer flasks feature molded in graduations for accuracy, are certified nonpyrogenic, are individually packaged, and come with a vent cap option for continuous gas exchange while maintaining sterility and preventing leakage. 

Recently, Dr. Ciaran Cronin and his team at Pfizer La Jolla demonstrated a more cost-efficient method for scaling up recombinant protein production in the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) using large Erlenmeyer flasks and standard laboratory equipment.

Corning scientists have had success with the fill volumes and speeds shown below and have shared them as a starting point for optimizing your own protocol using Corning polycarbonate Erlenmeyer flasks. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact your local Corning office.

The adoption of single-use technologies for biopharmaceutical manufacturing is a rapidly growing trend due to a number of advantages including the reduced risk of contamination, reduced capital costs, and faster time to market.

As the bioprocess industry grows, so grows the demand for single-use containers that can efficiently culture large quantities of cells. To support accelerating requirements, Corning has developed a 5L Erlenmeyer flask with the same footprint as a traditional 3L Erlenmeyer flask.
