Glass Petri Dishes

Laboratory glass Petri dishes are used for preparing and holding solid culture media, observing microbial growth, and handling samples during microbiology and laboratory testing. They are commonly used in research, educational laboratories, pharmaceutical testing, and quality control applications.

LabSafetyShop offers clear borosilicate glass Petri dishes with covers in diameters of 50, 80, 100, 150, and 200 mm. These dishes support routine microbiology, culture media preparation, and sample observation.

Glass Petri dishes can often be cleaned and sterilized for repeated use when the manufacturer permits it. Plastic Petri dishes are commonly used as disposable laboratory consumables and may be supplied sterile. Selection depends on the application, sterilization requirements, handling preferences, and material compatibility.

Many borosilicate glass Petri dishes are suitable for repeated sterilization, including autoclaving under specified conditions. Always follow the manufacturer's sterilization instructions and confirm that the dish and cover are suitable for the selected cycle. Reusable does not mean supplied sterile.

Choose a Petri dish based on diameter, depth, sample volume, required culture surface area, incubator space, and laboratory procedure. Smaller dishes may be suitable for limited sample volumes, while larger dishes provide more surface area for compatible culture or observation applications.
