Ultra Yield® System
E. coli & microbial cell culture solutions providing superior results when all three components are used simultaneously.
KEY FEATURES
• 10x increased aeration over standard shake flasks
• Increased DNA & protein production
• Fully scalable results
• Replacement for glass flasks
• Fits all standard flask clamps
• Easily adaptable into microbial growth protocols
610% Increase in Yield in Economical parallel protein expression screening and scale-up in Escherichia coli.
E. coli when cultured in Thomson Ultra Yield® Flasks show cells going from Log Phase to Transition Phase (as opposed to Stationary Phase) resulting in an increase in microbial OD, overall a more stable pH and a lower acetate level compared to glass flasks.
Why do Ultra Yield® Flasks work better than glass flasks, and other disposable baffled flasks for E. coli, Pichia and Schizosaccharomyces pombe?
Optimum Growth® System
Mammalian & insect cell culture offerings supporting 40-50% fill volumes.
Designed for mammalian and insect cell culture, superior to traditional shake flasks making shake cabinets a much more efficient space in the lab.
• Key Features:
• Baffles designed for high aeration and low shear to maintain cell viability
• Same footprint as comparable Fernbach flask but with a 40-50% fill volume
• Less foaming than disposable Fernbach potentially eliminates additives
• 0.2μm Vented Cap simultaneously maintains high gas exchange and sterility
• Transfer cap option connects directly to cell bags or bioreactors with multiple connection options
Optimum Growth® Flasks show better cell viability, a higher protein concentration and, due to having 2X greater volume, a higher total protein yield.
CHO Stable Pool Production Results
Optimum Growth® Flasks show better cell viability and a higher protein concentration in a smaller footprint shake flask.
Why do Optimum Growth® Flasks work better than other disposable flasks (non-baffled or baffled) for mammalian cell lines (CHO, HEK293, etc.) & insect cell lines (SF-9, SF-21, High Fives, Trichoplusia ni)?
