Definition
flask designed for cultivating adherent cells that has as part a flat growth surface for cell attachment and a narrow neck for adding or removing material while reducing contamination risk
Examples
- A T75 polystyrene tissue culture flask with vented cap, used for adherent HEK293 cell expansion.
Counter-Examples
- A spinner flask for suspension cell culture, which lacks a flat surface for cell attachment and instead has an internal stirring element

Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are insufficient constructs present to create a set of necessary and sufficient conditions. In particular the constructs for representing flask geometry (shape) are missing.
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
TFlask(x) → Flask(x) ∧ ∃f (hasFunction(x, f) ∧ AdherentCellCultureHoldingFunction(f))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘T-flask’ then x is a ‘flask’ and x ‘has function’ some ‘adherent cell culture holding function’
