Premium 75mm Thickened Glass Petri Dish for Lab Use

Glass offers several distinct benefits: Chemical Inertness: Resistant to virtually all solvents, acids, and bases, allowing for aggressive cleaning and sterilization without degradation. Thermal Stability: Withstands repeated autoclaving, dry-heat sterilization, and direct flame sterilization. Optical Clarity: Provides superior, distortion-free visibility for high-resolution microscopy and imaging. Non-permeable: Does not absorb odors, dyes, or biological materials, preventing cross-contamin

They are essential in protocols requiring durability and inertness: Plant Tissue Culture: Where dishes are handled frequently and require long-term sterility. Mycology (Fungus Culture): For cultures that may produce acids or require extended incubation. High-Temperature Assays: Such as top agar overlays for phage plaque assays. Histology & Staining: Where dishes are exposed to harsh solvents (xylene, alcohols) in staining protocols. General Microbiology Labs: Where reusable, durable culture

They are ideal for autoclaving (121 degree, 15-20 psi). For dry-heat sterilization, follow standard glassware protocols (e.g., 160-180 degree for 2+ hours). Always ensure dishes are cool before handling to prevent cracking from thermal stress.

Immediately after use, rinse to remove culture media. Soak in a warm detergent solution. For stubborn residues (e.g., agar, proteins), autoclave first to loosen them, then clean. Rinse thoroughly with tap water followed by several rinses with deionized (DI) or distilled water to prevent mineral deposits. Air dry in a dust-free environment or in a drying oven.
