Disposable Plastic Transparent Petri Dish for Laboratory Use

Disposable Plastic Transparent Petri Dish for Laboratory Use

A Petri dish is a shallow, cylindrical, lidded dish commonly used in laboratories for growing and studying microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. It is typically made of glass or clear plastic and provides a controlled environment for microbial cultures.

Petri dishes are widely used in biology to cultivate microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, and molds.  It is most suited for organisms that thrive on a solid or semisolid surface.  The culture medium is often an agar plate, a layer a few mm thick of agar or agarose gel containing whatever nutrients the organism requires (such as blood, salts, carbohydrates, amino acids) and other desired ingredients (such as dyes, indicators, and medicinal drugs).  The agar and other ingredients are dissolved in warm water and poured into the dish and left to cool down.  Once the medium solidifies, a sample of the organism is inoculated ("plated").  The dishes are then left undisturbed for hours or days while the organism grows, possibly in an incubator.  They are usually covered, or placed upside-down, to lessen the risk of contamination from airborne spores.  Virus or phage cultures require that a population of bacteria be grown in the dish first, which then becomes the culture medium for the viral inoculum.

Applications of Petri Dishes:

1. Microbiological Culture

Used to cultivate bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms on a growth medium (e.g., agar, nutrient broth).

Essential for pathogen identification, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and microbial research.

2. Cell Culture & Biological Studies

Used in research to culture mammalian, plant, and insect cells under controlled conditions.

Supports tissue engineering and stem cell research.

3. Medical & Clinical Testing

Applied in hospitals and labs for diagnosing infections by growing bacterial colonies from patient samples.

Helps in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) studies.

4. Food & Water Safety Testing

Used to detect microbial contamination in food products and water samples.

Plays a key role in quality control and public health surveillance.

5. Educational & Research Use

Commonly used in school and university laboratories for hands-on microbiology experiments.

Supports genetic, biochemical, and environmental studies.

6. Other Applications

Insect rearing (e.g., for entomological studies).

Seed germination experiments in plant research.

Chemical reaction observation in material sciences.

Material & Design:

Manufactured from high-quality polystyrene, these Petri dishes feature one compartment with a triple-vented design and optical planarity.  This design ensures optimal performance and ease of use during experiments.  They also require less media compared to alternative Petri dishes, providing a more efficient solution.

Gamma Irradiation Compatibility:

The dishes have a glass-like appearance, making them compatible with premium gamma irradiation for effective sterilisation, ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.

Temperature Stability:

These Petri dishes maintain stability from 4°C to 60°C, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of temperatures for various experimental conditions.

Features:

1.Made of high transparency medical grade PS material, Used for fungus, bacteria and other microorganism culture.

2.Superior production technique makes the dish thickness uniform.
