Culture flask
A culture flask comprising a culture chamber in a flask body comprising an even bottom wall with a growth surface on the top side, an even cover wall at a section from the bottom wall, and side walls that bridge the distance between the margins of the bottom wall and cover wall, an opening that is in adjacent regions of a side wall and the even cover wall at a distance from the bottom wall, and a hollow cylindrical flask neck that is connected to the margin of the opening and is aligned at a sharp angle to the growth surface so that the serological pipette, a scraper, a cannula or another elongated device for adding or removing material can be placed on the rear corners of the growth surface from the outside through the flask neck.
1. A culture flask comprising:
a flask base and a flask bonnet, wherein the flask base comprises a bottom wall, side walls and a first flask neck part connected to a front side wall, the flask bonnet comprises a cover wall and a second flask neck part connected to the cover wall, the flask base and flask bonnet having adjacent margins, and the flask base and flask bonnet are connected to each other in a sealing manner at the adjacent margins;
a culture chamber in a flask body having an even bottom wall with a growth surface on a top side, an even cover wall at a section from the bottom wall, and the side walls that bridge the distance between the bottom wall and the even cover wall, the bottom wall and a top wall having a rectangular and a trapezoidal portion whereby the culture flask by the trapezoidal portion narrows towards the front side wall,
an opening of the flask, the opening being formed into adjacent regions of the front side wall and the cover wall and in a center of the front side wall, the opening having a lower section provided in the front side wall and an upper section provided in the cover wall, the upper section having a form of a section of an ellipse in a plan view,
a first hollow cylindrical neck part connected to a margin of the lower section,
a second neck part being a hollow cylindrical segment formed by the cover wall and connected at lateral margins to an elliptical margin of the upper section, the elliptical margin having an end face margin, the end face margin being connected to a top margin section of a first neck part that projects upwards beyond the front side wall and the cover wall, respectively and
the first and second neck parts form a hollow cylindrical flask neck that is aligned at a sharp angle to the growth surface, so that a pipette, a scraper, a cannula or another elongated device for adding or removing material can be placed on rear corners of the growth surface from the outside through the flask neck.
2. The culture flask according to claim 1 , wherein the connection between the flask base and flask bonnet is an ultrasonic welded connection, or an infrared welded connection, or an adhesive connection, or a snap connection.
