35mm petri dish
The 35mm petri dish is a fundamental laboratory tool that has revolutionized scientific research and cell culture practices. These circular, shallow dishes, typically made from high-quality polystyrene, provide an optimal environment for growing and observing microorganisms, cell cultures, and tissue samples. With a diameter of 35 millimeters, these dishes offer an ideal size for small-scale experiments and precise observations. The standardized dimensions ensure compatibility with various laboratory equipment and microscopes, while the optically clear material allows for excellent visibility of cultures. The dishes feature a vented design that promotes proper gas exchange while maintaining sterile conditions, essential for successful cell growth. The construction includes a raised rim that enables secure stacking and prevents contamination between samples. Additionally, the surface of these petri dishes is often treated to enhance cell adhesion and growth, making them particularly suitable for specialized cell culture applications. Their single-use nature eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and ensures experimental integrity. These dishes also incorporate a marking area for sample identification and tracking, facilitating organized laboratory work.
