Abstract Aeration in shaken flasks appears to take place primarily by absorption of oxygen in the thin film of fluid deposited on the flask walls. Marked improvement in aeration efficiency can be had by breaking up these films with an independent baffling surface. This improvement can be combined with an improved closure to give uniform and efficient shaken flask aeration.
