Petri dishes are essential consumables used for microbiology, cell culture preparation, environmental monitoring, and general sample handling. Supplied by LabChoice Australia, these Petri dishes are manufactured to lab-grade quality to support consistent agar plating, streaking, colony isolation, and routine incubation workflows across Australian schools, universities, research facilities, and industrial QA laboratories.
Each Petri dish is produced with uniform dimensions and a stable, flat base to promote even agar distribution and reliable colony growth patterns. Clear, low-distortion surfaces improve visibility for colony counting and observation, while the precisely matched lid fit helps reduce contamination risk during handling, stacking, and incubation. For workflows where condensation control and gas exchange matter, vented lid designs can support airflow during incubation. Where moisture retention is the priority, non-vented options help maintain plate humidity and reduce agar dehydration.
Material choice is critical for performance and compatibility. Disposable Petri dishes are commonly supplied in high-clarity polystyrene (PS) for single use sterile workflows, supporting efficient high throughput plating and minimising cross contamination risk. Reusable Petri dishes are typically supplied in durable borosilicate glass for thermal stability, chemical resistance, and repeated washing and sterilisation cycles. Where borosilicate glass Petri dishes are supplied, BORO 3.3 performance aligns with ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type 1, Class A material specifications, supporting demanding laboratory use where heat resistance and chemical durability are required.
Trusted by Australian teaching labs and professional facilities, LabChoice Australia Petri dishes deliver dependable fit, clarity, and handling performance for day-to-day culture work, QC testing, and practical laboratory instruction.
