E. coli & Microbial Culture

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 (data from Pfizer). E. coli 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, a more stable pH and a lower acetate level compared to glass flasks (data from GSK).

Ultra Yield® System
Mammalian & Insect Cell Culture

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

HEK-293 transient production: 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: better cell viability and a higher protein concentration in a smaller footprint shake flask.
