Thermo Scientific Petri Dish 5 ml 60 x 15 mm 500 Tissue Culture Dishes

The Thermo Scientific 130181 Petri Dish is a laboratory consumable designed for the cultivation of microorganisms and cells, as well as for general laboratory applications. This dish measures 60 mm in diameter and 15 mm in height, making it a standard size for many microbiological and cell culture protocols.

The dish has a 5 ml working volume, which is suitable for preparing and cultivating smaller amounts of agar media or liquid cultures. Petri dishes are typically constructed from clear polystyrene, offering excellent optical clarity for easy visualization and microscopic analysis of colonies or cell growth. While not explicitly stated, this model often features vents, which are small raised ridges on the lid that allow for crucial gas exchange, promoting optimal growth conditions for aerobic organisms and helping to reduce condensation buildup.

The Thermo Scientific 130181 Petri Dish is a versatile and essential tool for research, diagnostic, and educational laboratories, providing a reliable and sterile environment for a wide range of microbiological and cell-based studies.
