Pinocchio Flask
Kit Contents
- Each kit is composed of 5 units of 50 mL and/or 100 mL Pinocchio Flasks
- Each Pinocchio Flask is composed of clear glass. It is autoclavable. Closure type crimp top vial. Fitting: thread for 20 mm.
- Dimensions of the product:
- 100 mL flask: O.D. × H 51.7 mm × 94.5 mm
- 50 mL flask: O.D. × H 43 mm × 73 mm
- Dimensions of the side tube part:
- Outer diameter: 16 mm
- Length: 7.5 to 8 cm
Features:
- Save time: Say goodbye to fastidious handling under a glove box. Get OD readings instantly.
- Get more: No need to be constrained by the tiny volumes of anaerobic culture tubes.
- Keep control: No lid opening: no risk of accidental contamination or oxygen exposure.
- Resistant: To elevated pressure (10 bar) and temperatures, they are suitable for routine culture of extremophiles and gas-producing bacteria.
Applications:
The Pinocchio-Flasks design was perfected to simplify experimental workflows when working with:
- Strict anaerobes or oxygen-sensitive processes: allowing for OD measurements without any risk of oxygen contamination by opening the container, the Pinocchio-Flasks will drastically simplify experimental workflows where maintaining strict anaerobicity is crucial.
- Extremophiles in controlled gaseous environments: a serum vial shape, selected to maintain a homogeneous gas balance throughout the whole culture and monitor growth without disturbing it. Resistant to elevated pressures (10 bar), they can be used with gas-producing microorganisms and have notably been used to support the growth and analysis of methanogenic archaebacteria in a published study. You can also easily sample gas using a gas-tight syringe through the septum without compromising sterility or internal atmosphere.
- High-risk pathogens, requiring containment to prevent accidental release.
- Any other species, to avoid disturbing the culture and reduce the risk of experimental variations due to opening/closing. Or simply to save time.
