They make 5, 7, 17 ml capped vials for this purpose. We've used
them. They are reusable and autoclavable.
Scientific Specialties Service

They make a similar product which we've used.
To retrieve the cultured monocyte/macrophages, we chill the
beakers on ice for about 30 min and then gently pipet the cells. We
recover from 35 to 60% of the cells.
