Ward’s Cell Culturing Kit
This innovative system allows students to learn about culturing of adherent and
non-adherent cells without the need for gas or humidity control. A patented
chamber design establishes a gas exchange rate that maintains a 0.2% CO 2
growing environment and reduces dehydration to virtually zero. This means
that you can provide your students with cell culture skills and experience using
just your traditional bench top incubator.
Ward’s Patented Petaka G3 Chamber allows:
• Anchorage and growth of adherent cells on all internal surfaces
(150cm2 surface area)
• Increased protection against contamination; no caps or long necks
that invite contaminants into the flask
• Thin design allows use of a common compound microscope for
viewing cells (up to 40X dry objective)
• Low fill volume of 20mL can support up to
15 million (1.5 x 107 ) cells
• Spill proof operation for student safety
Ward’s Cell Culture Kit comes with Petaka G3 Culture Flasks, blunt tip needles,
syringes, biological reagents, an instruction manual, and materials for eight
setups. A coupon is also included for perishable reagents and cells. Refill kit and
materials available separately.
366100 Kit $190.00
366101 25 Petaka G3 Flasks $234.09
366104 24 Petaka G3 Stands $96.44
Filter allows self regulated gas exchange and the maintenance
of a 0.2% CO 2 environment. Also designed to
make the Petaka “leak proof.”
Liquid Access Port—For adding and extracting liquid
media, cells, antibiotics, trypsin, stain, and more. Port
can be easily disinfected and is suitable for use with blunt
tip needles as well as micropipette tips.
Inner Chamber—sterile chamber protected from the
environment. Supports suitable cell growth on all
surfaces; ideal for most adherent and non adherent cell
types. The 150 cm 2 surface area is made of untreated
crystal polystyrene.
Outer Chamber—Includes a micro channel system that allows
liquid to be added and removed without exposing the inner
chamber to the environment. Also prevents dehydration.
Internal Gate to the Chamber—This gate is where liquid
enters and fills the inner chamber from the bottom up.
