Thomson Optimum Growth® Flasks are engineered to enhance suspension cell culture performance for mammalian and insect cell applications, offering scalable solutions from early-stage process development through production-scale workflows. Designed for improved oxygen transfer, efficient mixing, and high working volumes, these advanced shake flasks support robust cell growth, high viability, and streamlined scale-up across multiple vessel sizes. Available from 125 mL to 7 L capacities, Optimum Growth® Flasks enable researchers to maximize shaker incubator space while maintaining process consistency and reproducibility.
Utility for Cell Culture & Bioprocess Development
- Optimized for mammalian cell culture, insect cell culture, protein expression, transient transfection, and bioprocess scale-up applications.
- Supports seamless transition from small-scale screening to large-scale production with consistent culture conditions across flask sizes.
- Suitable for CHO, HEK293, hybridoma, and insect cell workflows requiring high aeration and reproducible performance.
Key Features
- High fill volume capacity (40–50% or greater) improves shaker space utilization compared with conventional shake flasks.
- Proprietary baffled design enhances oxygen transfer while maintaining low-shear mixing to support cell viability.
- 0.2 µm PTFE vented caps provide efficient gas exchange while preserving sterility.
- Scalable platform from 125 mL to 7 L enables standardized workflows and simplified process transfer.
- Single-use, sterile packaging (SAL 10⁻⁶) minimizes contamination risk and reduces preparation time.
- Compatible with transfer cap systems for closed-system media transfer and bioprocess integration.
