Petri Dishes
Petri dishes are essential for reliable microbiology workflows, cell culture, and routine sample handling—helping you grow, isolate, and observe microorganisms or cells with consistent results. In this range you’ll find sterile, aseptic, and reusable options in common formats such as 90 mm dishes, with vented designs to support gas exchange and reduce condensation where appropriate. Choose from trusted brands including Thermo Scientific™, Gosselin™, Fisherbrand™, Corning™, Duran™, and BRAND™ to match your protocol, sterility requirements, and material preferences (plastic or glass). Whether you need high-throughput sterile plates for daily lab work or durable reusable dishes for repeated use, these selections are ranked to help you quickly identify strong-performing products across the EU.

FAQ
Vented Petri dishes allow controlled gas exchange, which can help reduce condensation and support certain culture conditions. Non-vented dishes offer a tighter seal and are often preferred for reducing contamination risk. Thermo Scientific, Fisherbrand, and Corning offer both styles—choose based on your protocol and incubation setup.
Common sizes include 90 mm for routine microbiology and smaller formats (e.g., 50–60 mm) for limited samples or specific workflows. Match diameter and height to your media volume and colony spacing needs. Brands like Gosselin and Thermo Scientific provide multiple sizes so you can standardize across experiments.
Plastic (often polystyrene) is convenient for sterile, single-use workflows and high-throughput labs. Glass Petri dishes are reusable and suitable when repeated sterilization is required. Duran is widely used for durable borosilicate glass options, while Fisherbrand and Corning provide dependable plastic ranges for routine plating.
Keep sterile Petri dishes sealed in their original packaging until use, and store them in a clean, dry area away from dust and temperature extremes. Open packs only in appropriate controlled conditions (e.g., near a flame or in a cabinet when required). Sterile lines from Thermo Scientific and Gosselin are packaged to support safe handling.
Aseptic dishes are manufactured and packaged to minimize contamination risk and are typically suitable for microbiology plating and routine culture handling. They are used when you need clean, consistent labware without additional sterilization steps. Many Thermo Scientific Sterilin and Fisherbrand options are supplied aseptic for efficient daily work.
Use vented dishes when appropriate, avoid stacking too high, and allow plates to equilibrate to incubation temperature. Pour media at suitable temperatures and consider incubating plates inverted when your protocol allows. Vented designs from Gosselin, Fisherbrand, and Thermo Scientific can help manage moisture buildup in common workflows.
