Transcript of Baffled flasks Duran
Why use baffled flasks?
● Due to limited oxygen transfer, cell growth is restricted in standard Erlenmeyer flasks
● Larger surface of the content results in a higher possible oxygen intake due to increased gas exchange area
● Baffled flasks
– interrupt the laminar flow to create a turbulent flow
– increase the surface of the liquid and the gas exchange surface
– produce a higher oxygen transfer compared to standard Erlenmeyer flasks
Benefits of DURAN® baffled flasks
● completely automated machine manufacturing
= reproducible geometry
= comparable results
● complete with membrane screw cap (reproducible gas exchange)
● with retrace code (batch certificate via Internet)

Order information:
When cultivating microorganisms in Erlenmeyer flasks on an orbital shaker, the oxygen intake is frequently the limiting factor for cell growth. The DURAN® Erlenmeyer flask with four baffles on the bottom interrupts the laminar flow to create a turbulent flow. The surface of the liquid and the gas exchange surface is increased, so that the oxygen intake can be increased.
