Petri Dish (Set)

Product Code : SCL-CL-11496

Petri Dish (Set) (SKU SCL-CL-11496) is a clear, round glass culture dish, 100 mm in diameter and 20 mm high, paired with a cap that closes over it. It can be used to grow cultures and germinate seeds in biology and microbiology, and for evaporation and crystal work in chemistry. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory glassware supplier in India, dispatches the set from Ambala for school science departments, college microbiology labs, tender contractors and resellers.

Specifications

The 100 mm glass dish and its cap are specified row by row below. In short, it is a clear, round glass dish 20 mm high, heat-resistant and chemical resistant, so it can be washed and reused between classes, while the cap that accompanies it keeps dust off the contents.

Applications and Experiments for the Petri Dish

A glass petri dish holds a thin layer of culture medium, a moist filter paper or a small volume of solution in a flat, covered space. It appears in NCERT science activities from Class 6 upward, in Class 11–12 biology and chemistry practicals, and in B.Sc. microbiology and botany labs.

• Class 6–8 science: germinating seeds on moist cotton or filter paper and observing growth.
• Class 9–10 science: evaporating a salt solution, mixed first with a Glass Stirring Rod, to obtain crystals.
• Class 11–12 biology: observing moulds and simple microbial growth under supervision.
• B.Sc. microbiology: pouring agar prepared in Flat-Bottomed Flasks 250ml and plating measured portions from Graduated Pipettes 2ml after sterilisation.

Cultures should be handled and disposed of under teacher supervision, with the cap kept on once a plate has been inoculated.
