60 mm Petri Dishes (60 mm x 15 mm) – Sterile Microbiological & Tissue Culture Plates
60 mm Petri Dishes provide a reliable, sterile, and space-saving platform for small-scale cell culturing, colony isolation, and media-conserving microbiological assays. Manufactured under strict cleanroom conditions from high-transparency medical-grade polystyrene, these compact plates offer distortion-free optical clarity for precise microscopic inspection and image capture. Engineered with subtle venting ribs molded into the inner rim of the lid, they facilitate controlled air exchange during incubation while minimizing moisture buildup on the lid. Their small footprint and raised outer rim enable secure, space-saving stacking inside laboratory incubators and laminar flow hoods.
Key Applications:
-
Media-Conserving Microbiological Assays: Ideal for specialized microbial culture, fungal isolation, and antibiotic susceptibility testing where lower agar volume is preferred.
-
Cell & Tissue Culture Applications: Frequently used in research and clinical labs for small-batch primary cell cultures, embryo handling, and plant tissue culture experiments.
-
Quality Control & Environmental Monitoring: Widely utilized across pharmaceutical processing, food safety, and diagnostic facilities in Pakistan for micro-volume sample testing and air sampling.
