cell culture flask

A cell culture flask is a specially designed container used in laboratories to grow and study cells outside their natural environment. These flasks are typically made of clear plastic or glass and provide a controlled environment, allowing researchers to manage factors like temperature, humidity, and nutrient levels. They often have a flat surface for cells to adhere to, promoting growth. Scientists use cell culture flasks to explore cell behavior, test new drugs, or produce biological materials, making them essential tools in fields like medicine, biotechnology, and pharmacology.
