Glass Petri Dish 60 mm for Laboratory Use
The Glass Petri Dish 60 mm with Lid (60 x 15 mm) is a standard laboratory glassware staple engineered for micro-scale microbiological culturing, tissue preparation, and scientific observation. Fabricated from premium 3.3 borosilicate glass or high-purity neutral laboratory glass, this culture dish offers high thermal shock resistance and chemical durability. Unlike disposable polystyrene plastic dishes, glass Petri dishes are fully reusable and withstand continuous high-temperature sterilization cycles, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for laboratories in Bangladesh.
In pathology diagnostics, university biology practicals, seed germination trials, and pharmaceutical quality control, maintaining uncontaminated media is essential. The compact 60 mm diameter is specially sized for micro-culture protocols, antibiotic sensitivity assays, and small-batch agar plating where conservation of expensive culture media (such as Nutrient Agar or Sabouraud Dextrose Agar) is critical. Its flat, uniform base ensures consistent agar thickness across the entire surface, promoting even bacterial and fungal colony distribution.
Featuring a precision-matched loose-fitting glass lid, the dish facilitates essential gas exchange while preventing airborne particulates and contaminants from settling onto the growth medium. The crystal-clear optical glass provides distortion-free visibility for colony counting and direct examination under stereo and compound microscopes. Victor Scientific Co. supplies premium, break-resistant glass Petri dishes in protective packaging with rapid delivery across Bangladesh.
✹ Key Features
High-Grade Borosilicate Glass Build
Engineered from high-purity glass with low thermal expansion, resisting thermal shock, stress cracking, and chemical corrosion.
Fully Autoclavable & Reusable
Withstands repeated hot-air oven sterilization up to 180°C and pressurized steam autoclaving at 121°C without clouding or surface deformation.
High Optical Clarity
Features flat, polished top and bottom surfaces that provide distortion-free microscopic observation and effortless colony counting.
Loose-Fitting Contamination-Proof Lid
Includes a precision-molded glass lid that enables optimal aerobic gas circulation while shielding sterile agar from environmental dust and airborne spores.
Flat and Uniform Bottom Surface
Ensures even agar depth and consistent nutrient distribution, preventing dry zones or uneven media thickness during plating.
Media-Saving 60 mm Footprint
The compact 60 mm diameter uses less nutrient agar per plate compared to 90 mm or 100 mm dishes, lowering consumable costs during student practicals.
✹ Applications
- Clinical pathology laboratories for bacterial isolation, streaking, and antibiotic zone inhibition tests
- University, college, and school botany, zoology, and microbiology practicals
- Pharmaceutical microbiology QC, sterility testing, and environmental air sampling
- Agricultural and seed technology institutes for seed germination rate analysis
- Plant tissue culture micropropagation, callus induction, and fungal subculturing
- Small parts dissection, chemical crystallization, and laboratory sample evaporation
✹ Why Choose Glass Petri Dish 60 mm?
- Reusable glass construction eliminates ongoing procurement costs of single-use plastic dishes.
- Chemically inert surface will not react with aggressive chemical solvents, dyes, or strong reagents.
- Heavyweight stability prevents plates from slipping or blowing away inside laminar airflow hoods.
- Clear edge-to-edge optical profile makes colony identification and photography effortless.
- Reliable stock availability and bulk institutional discounts provided by Victor Scientific Co.
✹ Benefits
- Reduces overall lab operational costs through years of reusable sterilization cycles.
- Minimizes plastic laboratory waste, supporting eco-friendly institutional research protocols.
- Saves expensive agar powder and media reagents due to the economical 60 mm surface area.
- Speeds up colony counting under standard colony counters and low-magnification lenses.
