Thermo Scientific Petri Dish Vented 60 x 15 mm Sealed 150 Dishes

The Thermo Scientific 150288 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 and versatile size for many microbiological and cell culture protocols.

A key feature of this petri dish is its vented design. This indicates that the lid incorporates small raised ridges or tabs that allow for crucial gas exchange between the interior of the dish and the surrounding environment. This gas exchange is vital for optimal growth conditions for aerobic organisms and helps to reduce condensation buildup inside the dish, promoting clearer observation and more consistent culture results. Petri dishes are typically constructed from clear polystyrene, offering excellent optical clarity for easy visualization and microscopic analysis of colonies or cell growth. This Thermo Scientific petri dish is an essential tool for research, diagnostic, and educational laboratories, providing a reliable and sterile environment for a wide range of microbiological and cell-based studies.
