Erlenmeyer flasks are commonly used in microbiology, cell biology, and other fields that require cell culture. They are especially useful for suspension cultures, where cells are grown in a liquid medium rather than attached to a solid surface. It is a conical-shaped flask with a narrow neck and a wide base, which allows for better mixing of the culture medium and better gas exchange with the surrounding environment.

Erlenmeyer flasks can be used with large-capacity shakers to provide the necessary agitation and aeration for cell growth. The conical shape of the flask allows for efficient mixing of the culture medium, which helps to distribute nutrients and oxygen evenly throughout the culture.

One of the primary applications of Erlenmeyer flasks in biology is cell culture. Researchers use them to prepare cell culture media, nutrient solutions, and buffers needed for maintaining and growing cells in a controlled environment. The conical shape allows for efficient gas exchange, which is essential for cells to receive oxygen and release carbon dioxide during their growth.
