Optimum Growth™

Thomson's Optimum Growth™ 5 Liter flasks (patented) give great growth with space saving capability. By using Optimum Growth™ (patented) flasks users are able to to grow 2.5L of Cell Culture versus the previous max capacity of 1L.

The Optimum Growth™ 5 Liter flasks have replaced expensive, disposable, Fernbach flasks and also small Wave® Bags (5L & 10L). The Optimum Growth™ flasks also give high viability cultures with a great use of space. The Transfer Cap (patented) allows for one to inoculate larger cultures directly from the Optimum Growth™ flasks.

Please see our data for Optimum Growth™ flasks (patented) CHO, HEK 293, Insect Cell Lines, and Hybridoma.
