Baffled Culture Flask Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Baffled Culture Flask (Product Code: SLE/GFL/04) is a borosilicate glass flask with four equidistant baffles, designed for preparing and growing liquid cultures on an orbital shaker. The baffles break up the smooth swirl of the liquid so agitation stays consistent when the flask is run on a compatible shaker, and the glass withstands repeated autoclave cycles at 121°C. It serves microbiology, biotechnology and life-science teaching laboratories, and is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its microbiology lab equipment for India and international markets.

Specifications

Typical Use

A typical workflow is to add the liquid growth medium, close the neck with a cotton or foam plug or a foil cover, sterilise the flask in a laboratory autoclave sterilizer at 121°C, and inoculate it once cool. The flask is then clamped on an orbital shaker for incubation. In a plain flask the liquid tends to spin as a smooth vortex; the four baffles interrupt that motion, creating more turbulence so the culture is mixed more evenly and exposed to more air at the surface.

Fill the flask only partly so there is enough headspace for mixing, and choose shaker settings that avoid wetting the plug. Clean around the baffles with a suitable brush after use, and inspect the glass for chips or cracks before each autoclave run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the baffles do?
The four equidistant baffles disturb the swirling liquid on an orbital shaker, giving more consistent agitation and mixing than a plain flask.

Can the flask be autoclaved many times?
Yes, it is suitable for repeated autoclave cycles at 121°C. Check the glass for damage before each cycle.

Will it fit my orbital shaker?
It is intended for compatible orbital shakers. Shaker platforms hold flasks with clamps of specific sizes, so please contact us with your shaker details and the flask size you need.

What capacities are available?
Capacity options are not stated in our listing. Tell us the volume you require and we will confirm availability.

Is a cap or closure included?
No closure is listed with the flask. Laboratories commonly use a cotton or foam plug or a foil cover.

Do you supply culture flasks for institutions and export?
Yes, we supply laboratories and distributors in India and international markets.
