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, intended for preparing cultures on an orbital shaker. The baffles break up the swirling liquid for consistent agitation, and the flask is suitable for repeated autoclave cycles at 121°C. It suits microbiology and biotechnology shake-flask practicals. Colleges, universities, research institutes, tender contractors and distributors can have it quoted by Science Lab Supplies and sent from Ambala, India.
Specifications
The baffled flask's construction, sterilisation rating and shaker use are itemised in the table. In short, it is made from borosilicate glass that tolerates the heating and cooling of sterilisation, and its four evenly spaced baffles disturb the vortex on a compatible orbital shaker, mixing the culture evenly.

Applications and Experiments for the Baffled Culture Flask
Baffled flasks suit liquid cultures that need 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, with media first dissolved and mixed on a Hot Plate With Stirrer.
Fill the flask only partly so the baffles can mix the medium, let it cool fully after autoclaving, and bring it to working temperature in a Water bath, 7 L when the method calls for a pre-warmed medium.
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, shaker clamps and an orbital shaker can be added to the same quotation.
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, Science Lab Supplies 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. State the flask volume and quantity on the contact page, keep it in the enquiry cart next to your shaker and media items, or see how tendered orders work on the lab tender page.
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 the air above it than a plain flask of the same size.
Can the flask be autoclaved?
Yes. It is suitable for repeated autoclave cycles at 121°C. Let it cool slowly afterwards so the glass is not stressed, and inspect it for chips or cracks before the next run.
What capacity can be supplied?
Capacity is confirmed on the quotation. Give the volume you need, the number of flasks and the shaker you plan to use on the contact page, and Science Lab Supplies will confirm the size it can supply.
Who supplies the Baffled Culture Flask?
Biotechnology and microbiology buyers can source it from Science Lab Supplies, an Ambala, India supplier that prices single flasks, laboratory stock and tender quantities on request.
