Why are petri dishes used?

• Petri dishes are commonly used as laboratory equipment in biology and chemistry.
• The dish is used for cell culture, storage and protection against contamination.
• Because the dish is transparent, it is easy to see the many stages of microorganism development.
• Due to the size of the Petri dish, it can be observed directly under a microscope without transferring to a microscopic plate.
• The Petri dish is used in schools and colleges for activities such as observing seed germination.

What are the different types of petri dishes?

• Depending on the material, Petri dishes can be divided into glass and plastic.
• When selecting Petri dishes, customers can specify the desired diameter and choose reusable or disposable products. Reusable Petri dishes are typically thicker than standard glass or plastic labware and can handle heavier loads. Disposable cups, such as those shown below, are less expensive and lighter in weight.
