The Smart MCs Magnetic Spinner Flask is an advanced laboratory vessel designed to address the critical challenge of scaling up cultivated meat production from research to commercial volumes. This high-quality, biocompatible glass flask provides the smooth, consistent agitation necessary for optimal cell growth in microcarrier-based and suspension cell cultures, directly supporting improved yields and process efficiency. It is a vital component for laboratories transitioning from smaller culture formats like T-Flasks and roller bottles to more scalable spinner systems, ensuring a seamless and reliable scale-up path.
The flask's key differentiator lies in its robust design and material composition, which guarantees high biocompatibility and minimises the risk of contamination, a critical factor in maintaining the integrity of cultivated meat cell lines. Its innovative design is specifically engineered to work in conjunction with a magnetic stir bar, ensuring uniform microcarrier suspension and gentle agitation for delicate mammalian and other cell types. This system facilitates efficient nutrient delivery and supports healthy, homogeneous cell populations, which is essential for consistent production outcomes.
Validated for a range of cultivated meat applications, this spinner flask is compatible with various mammalian cell lines, including those used in the production of bovine, porcine, and avian cell-based products. While primarily for research use, the system is designed with scalability in mind, offering a clear pathway for process validation from R&D to pilot and commercial-ready production. A Certificate of Analysis is available, underscoring the product's commitment to quality and reliable performance data.
This laboratory vessel is a research-grade tool, with the option for GMP-compliant manufacturing based on specific customer requests, supporting the regulatory context of the cultivated meat industry. Its compatibility with standard magnetic stirrers and its robust, animal-origin-free glass matrix make it a practical and reliable choice for developing scalable, serum-free, and chemically defined culture protocols. The flask is engineered to support the efficient and reproducible expansion of cells, accelerating the journey towards commercial-scale cultivated meat manufacturing.
