Thermo Scientific Petri Dish 12.5 ml 100 mm x 20 mm PE Case of 200 Dishes

The Thermo Scientific 130182 Petri Dish is a laboratory consumable designed for the cultivation of microorganisms and cells, and for various general laboratory applications. This dish measures 100 mm in diameter and 20 mm in height, making it a standard size for many microbiological and cell culture protocols, offering a larger growth surface compared to smaller dishes.

The dish has a 12.5 ml working volume, which is suitable for preparing and cultivating moderate amounts of agar media or liquid cultures. It is constructed from polyethylene (PE), a flexible and durable plastic material. While polyethylene may not offer the same optical clarity as polystyrene, it can provide certain benefits such as improved shatter resistance. This model often features vents, which are small raised ridges on the lid that facilitate crucial gas exchange, promoting optimal growth conditions for aerobic organisms and helping to reduce condensation buildup inside the dish.

The Thermo Scientific 130182 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.
