Product Information

Narrow Mouth – It is utilised to support filter funnels during experiments. Mixing the solution is as simple as whirling the flask.

The final two attributes of Erlenmeyer flasks make them especially appropriate for recrystallization. The sample to be purified is heated to a boil, and sufficient solvent is added for complete dissolution. The receiving flask is filled with a small amount of solvent, and heated to a boil. The hot solution is filtered through a fluted filter paper into the receiving flask. Hot vapors from the boiling solvent keep the filter funnel warm, avoiding the premature crystallization.Erlenmeyer’s flask is utilised for the preparation of concentration solutions and chemical analysis. It is primarily employed in the titration procedure and is hence also known as a “Titration Flask.” Erlenmeyer flasks are also used in microbiology for the preparation of microbial cultures. Erlenmeyer flasks used in cell culture are sterilized and may feature vented closures to enhance gas exchange during incubation and shaking. The use of minimal liquid volumes, typically no more than one fifth of the total flask volume, and baffles molded into the flask's internal surface both serve to maximize gas transfer and promote chaotic mixing when the flasks are orbitally shaken. The oxygen transfer rate in Erlenmeyer flasks depends on the agitation speed, the liquid volume, and the shake-flask design. [9] The shaking frequency has the most significant impact on oxygen transfer.

Oxygenation and mixing of liquid cultures further depend on rotation of the liquid "in-phase", meaning the synchronous movement of the liquid with the shaker table. Under certain conditions the shaking process leads to a breakdown of liquid motion – called "out-of-phase phenomenon". This phenomenon has been intensively characterized for shake flask bioreactors. Out-of-phase conditions are associated with a strong decrease in mixing performance, oxygen transfer, and power input. Main factor for out-of-phase operation is the viscosity of the culture medium, but also the vessel diameter, low filling levels and/or a high number of baffles.

In microbiology: In the microbiology laboratory, conical flasks are also used to boil and sterilize culture media while preparing the culture plates. The Erlenmeyer filter flask has the added benefit of preventing overturning. In contrast to measuring cylinders and even breakers, its wide base prevents spillage. In contrast to its wide base, the flask’s tiny mouth reduces its centre of gravity.
