Material introduction of erlenmeyer shake flasks

 Erlenmeyer shake flasks are widely used in the fields of microbiology and cell biology. They can be used with large-capacity culture shakers and are suitable for full-time suspension culture, medium preparation or storage. Cells have very high requirements for the environment, so what material is generally used for erlenmeyer shake flasks?

The material of the erlenmeyer shake flask is mainly plastic, mostly polycarbonate (PC) material and PETG material. Polycarbonate (PC for short in English) is a high molecular weight polymer containing carbonate groups in the molecular chain. It is colorless and transparent, heat-resistant, impact-resistant, flame-retardant, BI-level, and has good mechanical properties at ordinary operating temperatures. It has a wide range of applications in the building materials industry, automobile manufacturing, medical equipment, aerospace, packaging, optical lenses and other fields. It can be used for medical cups, tubes, bottles, dental equipment, pharmaceutical containers and surgical equipment, and even Used as artificial organs such as artificial kidney and artificial lung.

Material introduction of erlenmeyer shake flasks

PETG is a transparent, non-crystalline copolyester. Its products are highly transparent and have excellent impact resistance. It is especially suitable for forming thick-walled transparent products. It has excellent processing and molding properties and can be designed in any shape according to the designer's intention. It may use traditional extrusion, injection, blow molding and blister molding methods, which can be widely used in the market of plates, sheets, high-performance shrink films, bottles and profiled materials. At the same time, it has excellent secondary processing performance and can be used for Conventional machining modification.

Polycarbonate (PC) and PETG materials are commonly used materials for erlenmeyer shake flasks. No matter which material is selected, it must meet the various needs of cell culture to ensure the smooth progress of cell culture.

Material features of PETG media bottles

图片
  PETG media bottles   are a special packaging for storing various media, reagents, serum and other solutions, and it is also a product that scientific researchers have more contact with. The wide range of applications is mainly due to the superior properties of its materials. PETG is a transparent plastic that belongs to the non-crystalline copolyester. Serum needs to be stored in a low temperature environment. The use range of this material is -80°C to 60°C, which makes PETG media bottles fully meet the storage needs of serum. In addition, it has the following features: 1. High transparency, the light transmittance reaches 90%, which can reach the transparency of plexiglass; 2. It has stronger rigidity and hardness, excellent scratch resistance, impact resistance and toughness, which is close to or even exceeds that of polycarbonate (PC), and is suitable for injection molding, extrusion molding and extrusion blowing processing; 3. In terms of chemical resistance, oil resistance, weat

What are the common specifications of serum bottles

图片
  In biological laboratories, we often have to store various solutions and reagents. Thanks to the advantages of good performance, transparency, and temperature resistance, serum bottles have become "frequent visitors" in the laboratory. As a commonly used storage container, what are its common specifications?                      FuDau 60ml-Square-PETG-PET-Media-Bottles Common materials for serum bottles include PETG and PET, both of which have very good temperature resistance and transparency. In comparison, bottles made of PETG have more advantages in terms of barrier properties. If you want to pursue a better storage state of the solution, it is recommended to use a bottle made of PETG. There is a molded scale on the body of the bottle, we can clearly observe the capacity and state of the solution. The common specifications of this kind of container include 5ml/10ml/30ml/60ml/125ml/250ml/500ml/1000ml, etc., which are mostly used to store serum, culture medium, buffer, dis

Cell factory requirements for production raw materials

图片
Cell factories   are mainly used for large-scale cell culture. Cells have high requirements on the environment, such as temperature, humidity, osmotic pressure, pH value, etc. Therefore, this kind of   cell   consumables also has high requirements on raw materials. The first is transparency. In the process of cell culture, it is necessary to grasp the growth state of the cells at any time, and make corresponding adjustments according to the cell proliferation. Therefore, the raw materials of the cell factory must meet the requirements of transparency, so that it is convenient for researchers to observe the growth of cells. The second is the compatibility of materials. The raw materials of this consumable generally meet the requirements of USP Class VI medical polymer materials. Medical polymer materials refer to polymer materials used to manufacture human internal organs, external organs, pharmaceutical dosage forms and medical devices, and their sources include natural biopolymer mate
