Petri Dishes

etri dishes provide shallow, covered vessels for culturing microorganisms on solid media and for other laboratory handling procedures. The current selection includes round Nunc™ and Sterilin™ dishes, standard 90 mm products, sizes ranging from 30 to 140 mm within listed product families, square bioassay dishes, and special-purpose formats.

Choose a dish by diameter, height, shape, material, sterility, vent configuration, optical requirements, and package quantity. Vented lids support gas exchange, while nonvented designs reduce exchange and may limit evaporation during longer workflows. Sterile and nonsterile products are both represented in the broader product families, so verify the exact catalog number rather than relying on the category name.
