Baffled Culture Flask
Product Code : LSK-LF-10422
Baffled Culture Flask (SKU LSK-LF-10422) is a heat-resistant borosilicate glass flask with four equidistant baffles, used to grow cultures on an orbital shaker. The baffles break up the swirling liquid for consistent agitation, and the flask withstands repeated autoclave cycles at 121°C. Microbiology and biotechnology labs use it for shake-flask work. Science Lab Supplies ships this flask from Ambala, India to colleges, universities, research institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The flask is made from borosilicate glass, which tolerates the heating and cooling of sterilisation. Four baffles are spaced evenly around the flask; when the flask is clamped on a compatible orbital shaker they disturb the vortex, mixing the culture evenly and improving contact with the air above it.

Applications and Experiments for the Baffled Culture Flask
Baffled flasks are chosen when a liquid culture needs vigorous, even mixing and good aeration on a shaker, as in growing bacteria or yeast before an experiment. This makes the flask practical borosilicate laboratory glassware in India for teaching and research labs working with cultures.
- B.Sc. and M.Sc. microbiology: growing liquid cultures of bacteria and yeast on an orbital shaker.
- B.Tech. biotechnology and bioprocess labs: shake-flask culture before scale-up to a fermenter.
- Research labs: preparing inoculum and growing cultures for enzyme or product studies.
Fill the flask only partly so the baffles can mix the medium, and let it cool fully after autoclaving before handling or placing it on the shaker.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Baffled Culture Flask is supplied as a single glass flask with its four baffles, as described above. Tell us the capacity you need and the quotation will confirm the size supplied; closures and shaker clamps are not part of this listing and can be requested separately.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a quotation for a few flasks for one shaker or a larger stock for a teaching lab; either way it states packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. As a laboratory glassware supplier in India, we can add screw-cap and conical flasks to the same quotation.
As a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. Enquiries are welcome through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and the lab tender page explains tender supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the baffles do?
The four equidistant baffles interrupt the swirling motion on an orbital shaker, giving consistent agitation and better mixing of the culture with air than a plain flask.
Can the flask be autoclaved?
Yes. It is suitable for repeated autoclave cycles at 121°C. Allow it to cool slowly afterwards and inspect it for chips or cracks before reuse.
What capacity is available?
The listing does not state capacities, so please give the volume you need on the contact page and we will confirm what can be supplied.
Who supplies the Baffled Culture Flask?
Science Lab Supplies, based in Ambala, India, supplies it for single orders, laboratory stock and tenders.
