Transfer & Feed Flasks
Born As A Custom Product...
The Multiported Optimum Growth® Flask was born out of the need for biopharmaceutical companies to ensure the elimination of contamination risk. The multiport flasks allows for completely closed system aseptic processing.
Steps Include:
- Addition of media to the flask
- Inoculation
- Feeding
- Sampling
Allows viable cell count sampling while the flask remains in shaker or on benchtop
No need to decontaminate and open the flask cap
Ensures contamination-free processing
Tube fusing for media addition, inoculation, feeding
Transfer to larger vessel maintaining sterility
Eliminates the need to inoculate using expensive and awkward cell bags
Contamination-free processing by never needing to open the flask cap
A comprehensive solution for large-scale expression
Thomson's Optimum Growth® 7L Multiported Flasks offer a comprehensive solution for large-scale expression, combining compatibility, efficiency, and sterility. Our multiport design, including a spout for gravity-fed media transfer, 1-way valve for sampling, and bi-directional port with Luer Lock, makes them versatile for various bioprocessing needs.
| Features | Description |
|---|---|
| Aseptic Operations | Ensures contamination-free feeding and transfer preserving culture integrity |
| Reduced Vessel Dependency | Fewer vessels mean less clutter and lower contamination risks |
| Gravity-Fed Media Transfer Spout | Eliminates the need for transfer containers reduces contamination risks |
| 1-Way Valve for Sampling | Allows sampling in shaker minimizes culture disruption |
| Bi-Directional Port with Luer Lock | Facilitates aseptic feeding and transfer ideal for scaling up |
