Laboratory Flasks: Find glass, plastic, Erlenmeyer, volumetric, and boiling & more

As a cornerstone of scientific research and analysis, laboratory flasks are used across all academic, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and industrial labs. At LDP, our Flasks category offers an extensice selection of lab flasks for the diverse needs of today’s laboratories. Accurately and Safely dispense titrations, culture cells, and heat chemicals without worries using our flask collection.

A Wide Selection of Laboratory Flasks

Our collection aims to offer every type of flask that addresses a certain scientific need. Each sub-category is crafted from durable materials like borosilicate glass, plastic (HDPE, PP, PETG), or spscialized coatings for thermal and chemical resistance. Here is an overview of the most common flask types available in our catalog:

• Boiling Flasks:

  Ideal for uniform heating of liquids; available in round and flat-bottom variations.

• Erlenmeyer Flasks:

  Woolconical flasks with narrow necks for mixing without spillage.

• Volumetric Flasks:

  Calibrated flasks designed for precise measurement and dilution of solutions.

• Culture Flasks:

  Used in cell culture work; vented caps and surface treated versions are available.

• Dewar Flasks:

  Insulated vessels used for storing and transferring cryogenic fluids like liquid nitrogen.

• Distilling Flasks:

  Provide with side arms for distillation processes in organic chemistry labs.

• Filtering Flasks:

  These are specially designed for vacuum filtration with thick walls and side arms.

• Spinner Flasks:

  These are utilized extensively in growing suspension cultures within bioreactors.

Glass vs. Plastic Flasks: Making the Right Choice

We offer our laboratory flasks in both glass and plastic forms.

• Borosilicate glass flasks have very good thermal and chemical properties, therefore, can be heated and placed in contact with solvents without risk.
• HDPE and PETG plastic flasks are lightweight and more difficult to break, making them easier to transport and store. They can also be used in non-volatile corrosive samples.

When selecting a flask, the intended method of use, temperature tolerances, and chemical compatibility must be weighed. For example, volumetric studies require precision-glass flasks while cell cultures are often treated in sterile, single-use plastic culture flasks.

Precision and Calibration

All scientific work demands accuracy, which is the most important for precision volumetric flask measurements. Volume measurement calibration needs to be done to class A or B standards. Markings of volume in the form of graduation must be clear and etched or printed with high-contrast ink which is chemically resistant, further improving the accuracy of liquid measurements.

Sterility and the Prevention of Contamination

Biopharmaceutical research and cell cultures are sensitive procedures. Sterility is critical. Most of our culture and spinner flasks come pre-sterilized, individually packaged and vented caps to prevent the growth of bacteria while allowing the optimal cell growth environment. Alternatives with low binding surface membranes help to eliminate contaminants while supporting valuable cell growth.

Compatible with Laboratory Equipment

Our flasks are compatible with a variety of lab apparatus like magnetic stirrers, hot plates, shakers and even autoclaves. For different pipettes and dispensers, both narrow and wide mouth flasks are provided.
