Tissue Culture Dish

Product Code : SCL-LG-11994

The borosilicate glass Petri dish from Science Lab Supplies is a shallow laboratory dish available in 50 mm, 75 mm and 100 mm diameters. Its borosilicate-glass construction and beaded edging support routine handling, cleaning and temporary storage of liquids, granules, powders and small specimens.

Product Description

This borosilicate glass Petri dish provides a simple, reusable laboratory vessel for holding small quantities of suitable materials during routine laboratory work. The source specifies high-quality borosilicate glass, making the dish easy to clean, while its beaded edge is intended to provide greater mechanical strength during normal handling.

Three diameter options—50 mm, 75 mm and 100 mm—allow laboratories to select a dish according to the amount and physical size of the material being handled. It can be used alongside complementary glassware such as laboratory beakers when samples need to be transferred between different vessels during educational, laboratory or specimen-handling procedures.

Key Features

• Borosilicate-glass construction: designed for repeated laboratory handling and straightforward cleaning.
• Three diameter options: available in 50 mm (2 inch), 75 mm (3 inch) and 100 mm (4 inch) sizes.
• Beaded edging: provides greater mechanical strength around the edge of the dish.
• Versatile sample holding: suitable for temporary storage of liquids, granules, powders and small specimens.
• Choice of working size: users can select the diameter that best fits the quantity or physical dimensions of the material being handled.
• Compatible with routine laboratory workflows: may be used alongside sample-transfer equipment such as graduated pipettes where suitable for the procedure.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included in the Kit

The supplied source identifies the product as a borosilicate glass Petri dish offered in three selectable diameter options. The exact pack configuration and inclusion of a separate lid or cover require confirmation before publication.

• Additional accessories – none stated

Applications / Uses

The borosilicate glass Petri dish is intended for temporary containment of small laboratory materials where a shallow, accessible glass vessel is useful.

• Temporary storage of suitable laboratory liquids.
• Holding granulated materials during laboratory work.
• Temporary containment of powders.
• Holding small specimens for observation or handling.
• Supporting specimen workflows used alongside glass microscope slides where the laboratory procedure requires subsequent microscopic examination.
• Educational demonstrations in school, college and university laboratories.

How to Use the Borosilicate Glass Petri Dish

Use the Petri dish as a temporary sample-holding vessel, selecting the diameter appropriate to the material and procedure.

1. Select the required 50 mm, 75 mm or 100 mm dish size.
2. Inspect the glass and beaded edge for chips, cracks or visible damage before use.
3. Clean and dry the dish according to the laboratory's approved procedure.
4. Place the dish on a clean, stable and level working surface.
5. Add the required liquid, granules, powder or small specimen without overfilling the dish.
6. Identify or label the sample according to the laboratory's traceability procedure where required.
7. After use, remove the contents safely and clean the glassware using the appropriate laboratory method.

Safety and handling note: Do not use chipped or cracked glassware. The supplied source does not specify a validated sterilization method, maximum operating temperature, autoclave compatibility or chemical-resistance rating for this particular product; those requirements should therefore be confirmed before applying a heat, sterilization or chemical-exposure protocol.

Care & Maintenance

Careful cleaning, inspection and storage help reduce contamination risks and accidental damage to reusable laboratory glassware.

• Clean the dish using a laboratory-compatible cleaning method appropriate to the previous contents.
• Inspect the beaded edge and glass surface for cracks or chips before every reuse.
• Allow washed glassware to drain and dry safely; laboratories handling multiple vessels may also review the holder for draining dishes.
• Store dishes securely to prevent impact, edge damage and unnecessary glass-to-glass contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a borosilicate glass Petri dish used for?

A borosilicate glass Petri dish is used as a shallow laboratory vessel for temporarily holding suitable liquids, granules, powders and small specimens. Its open, accessible form makes sample placement, observation and removal straightforward during routine laboratory procedures.

What sizes of this glass Petri dish are available?

The supplied source states that the Petri dish is available in three diameters: 50 mm (2 inch), 75 mm (3 inch) and 100 mm (4 inch).

Is this Petri dish made from borosilicate glass?

Yes. The supplied source specifically identifies high-quality borosilicate glass as the construction material and also states that the dish has beaded edging for greater mechanical strength.

Does the Petri dish come with a lid?

The supplied source page does not explicitly state whether a separate lid or cover is included, so this detail should be verified before publication or procurement.

Can this borosilicate glass Petri dish be sterilized?

The supplied source does not specify a validated sterilization method or temperature limit for this exact product. Compatibility must therefore be confirmed against the manufacturer's documented instructions and the laboratory's validated SOP before sterilization. Laboratories evaluating separate dry-heat equipment may review the hot air sterilizer independently without assuming automatic compatibility with this dish.

Can a Petri dish be used to measure liquid volume?

No volumetric measuring function is stated for this product. The source specifies diameter options and temporary sample-storage uses rather than calibrated volume measurement. For other laboratory tasks, users may review the laboratory watch glass or appropriate calibrated measuring glassware according to the procedure.
