Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Convenience_x000D_ The Corning disposable spinner flask system comes ready-to-use with paddle and integrated magnet, eliminating the need for time-consuming assembly or cleaning and reassembly._x000D_ Confidence_x000D_ Molded from virgin polystyrene and gamma-irradiated, each spinner flask system assures a clean and sterile unit that is nonpyrogenic. No more concerns with detergent residues or contamination._x000D_ Compatibility_x000D_ Made of ISO 10993 polystyrene, the vessel is comparable to conventional glass spinner flasks for growth of suspension cell lines and any attachment-dependent cultures using microcarrier beads._x000D_ Performance_x000D_ The paddle size and height is optimized for each vessel size. A unique integrated magnet provides a smooth, even rotation at required speeds on any laboratory slow speed stirrer. Heat build-up in the vessel is reduced by means of a specially designed flange that raises the vessel off the stir-plate surface._x000D_ Conclusions_x000D_ • Disposable large volume spinner flasks are equivalent to conventional glass spinner flasks for cell growth and viability_x000D_ • A variety of cell types can be cultured in large volume disposable spinner flasks_x000D_ • Disposable spinner flasks maintain equal aeration as compared to standard glass spinner flasks_x000D_ • Cultured cells from glass and disposable spinner flasks are metabolically equivalent_x000D_ • Culured cells in disposable spinner flasks product equal amounts of secreted proteins as cells cultured in traditional glass spinner flasks_x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ Corning is a registered trademark of Corning, Inc.
