What Is a Petri Dish Used For?
Petri dishes are primarily used for studying microbiology. This includes research around bacteria, fungi and small mosses. Typically, researches will cultivate these bacteria and grow them within the petri dish, studying the conditions under which they change and grow.
Triple Vent Petri Dish
Triple vented Petri dishes are built differently to triple or non-vented Petri dishes. This is because this type of design lifts the lid off the dish's base all around, aiding air flow and gaseous exchange. Ideal for aerobic cultures and for short term work due to increased moisture evaporation.
Sterility
These Petri dishes are aseptic - meaning they are manufactured in highly sterile environments to eliminate microbiological contamination, even though the petri dishes are not sterilised directly themselves. This makes these Petri dishes excellent for microbiological applications.
Key Features
The Fisherbrand Petri Dishes have a number of key features:
- Polystyrene material is strong, pliable and easy to use
- Triple vent allows for air exposure to be controlled
- 90mm diameter allows for clear observation of reactions
