Applications and Experiments for the Petri Dish
The dish holds agar or other culture media so that students can grow and count microbial colonies, and it doubles as a clean, covered tray for seeds and small specimens. It supports school biology practicals, B.Sc. microbiology work and general laboratory observation tasks in chemistry and biology rooms.
- Class 9–12 biology: observing mould growth on food samples under a closed lid.
- B.Sc. microbiology practicals: streaking and spread-plating bacteria on nutrient agar, with tools flamed over a Laboratory Spirit Burner.
- Seed germination investigations in school science projects, moving seeds with stainless steel Forceps.
- Holding small specimens for viewing on a screen with the Digital Microscope.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Petri Dish is supplied as a single unit as described above: a transparent plastic base with its matching lid, in the 3.5 cm or 7.5 cm diameter you specify. Culture media, inoculating tools and larger pack quantities can be added to the same quotation if you need them.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover a handful of dishes for a small class or a full laboratory quantity for a microbiology course. Each one sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the number you ask for, and slides, forceps or other chemistry lab equipment in India can be added to the same quotation.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. Tell us the dish size and count on the contact page, drop the item into the enquiry cart, or use the lab tender page when the dishes form part of a formal bid.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Petri Dish come in?
It is offered in two diameters, 3.5 cm and 7.5 cm. The smaller size suits small samples and seed tests, while the 7.5 cm dish gives more surface for streaking cultures. State the size and quantity when you ask for a quotation.
Is the dish made of glass or plastic?
It is made of transparent plastic. The clear, lightweight body and flat base make colonies easy to see, and the matching lid helps reduce contamination while letting gases exchange.
Who supplies the Petri Dish?
The dishes come from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which can quote them for schools, colleges, laboratories and tender contractors and combine them with slides, burners or other bench items on a single order.
Can I order Petri dishes in bulk for a microbiology lab?
Yes. Send the size, number of dishes and delivery location, and the quotation will give packing, delivery time and price for that full quantity, so a whole class set can be priced at once.
