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. Biology and microbiology students use it to grow cultures and germinate seeds, while chemistry classes use it for evaporation and crystal work. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory glassware supplier in India, sends it from Ambala to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each dish is made of clear glass that the specification describes as both heat-resistant and chemical resistant, so it can be washed and reused between classes. The shallow 20 mm body and 100 mm diameter give a wide, flat surface, and the accompanying cap keeps dust and contamination out.

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 to obtain crystals.
- Class 11–12 biology: observing moulds and simple microbial growth under supervision.
- B.Sc. microbiology: pouring agar plates and streaking cultures after sterilisation.
Cultures should be handled and disposed of under teacher supervision, with the cap kept on once a plate has been inoculated.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set consists of the 100 mm x 20 mm clear glass petri dish together with its matching cap, as described above. Culture media, filter paper and any carrying racks are not part of the set; the number of sets you need is stated on the quotation.
