Our patented Laboratory Flask Retention Pads are designed to ensure secure flask handling during orbital shaking while allowing effortless removal when required. They feature an adhesive base with a grooved, protruded top surface for reliable flask holding and easy removal, and a no-leachables construction to maintain sterility in sensitive cultures.

These pads are especially suited for mammalian and microbial cell culture applications, as well as a wide range of other laboratory uses. They have been trusted by major pharmaceutical companies for years, delivering proven performance in humidified CO₂ incubator shakers and beyond.
