A container is provided for cell growth by artificial cultivation of
selected biological material in a growth liquid for use in an oscillating
incubator. The container has a circular bottom with rounded corners
joining a sidewall that is inclined at an angle toward a longitudinal
axis of the container to define a container volume. The bottom has six
equally spaced baffles extending inward from the corners and upward
toward a large diameter opening of the container centered on the
longitudinal axis. The baffles have a triangular cross-sectional shape
with an included angle of about 28 40.degree., and a height measured
parallel to the longitudinal axis of about 15 25% of the usable container
volume. The baffles end before the longitudinal axis. The container and
baffles are blow molded of a polymer suitable for blow molding. An air
permeable filter is placed over the container opening, with the filter
having an adhesive on one side to stick to the container. A finger tab on
the periphery of the filter helps position and remove the filter.
