Petri Dish Glass With Lid (Product Code: SLE/CL/25) is a shallow, round culture dish in colourless glass, approximately 90mm in diameter, supplied together with its covering lid. It is intended for microbiological and medical examinations, where a clear, flat dish is needed to hold culture media, samples or specimens while they are incubated and inspected. Clinic and hospital laboratories keep it as a basic commodity, and microbiology departments in colleges use the same format for practical classes. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for buyers looking for a glass petri dish in India that can be washed and used again.

The most common job for this dish is holding a layer of agar medium. Sterile medium is poured into the base, allowed to set with the lid in place, and then inoculated by streaking or spreading a sample across the surface. After incubation, the colonies can be counted and examined through the clear glass without opening the dish. Clinical laboratories also use glass petri dishes to hold tissue or swab specimens during examination, to soak slides, or to keep small items covered and clean on the bench.
For best results, sterilise dishes before media is poured, pour on a level surface so the agar sets evenly, and incubate plates upside down so condensation does not drip onto the culture. Write labels on the base rather than the lid, because lids get swapped. Used cultures must be decontaminated before the dishes are washed, rinsed and dried for the next run. Reusable glass dishes like these remain standard microbiology lab equipment in India where teaching and diagnostic labs want to limit single-use plastic.
ScienceLab is the brand under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited makes and sells laboratory glassware and equipment from Ambala, Haryana. The company equips clinical, college and school laboratories, so a petri dish order can be packed with the media preparation and incubation equipment it will be used with.

What size is the dish, and is the lid included?
The dish is approximately 90mm in diameter and is supplied with its lid. If you need the depth or wall thickness for your procedure, ask us and we will check it for you.
Can these dishes be sterilised with an autoclave or hot air oven?
Glass petri dishes are normally sterilised between uses, but the listing does not name the glass type. Confirm your intended sterilisation method with us through the contact page before ordering.
Why choose glass instead of disposable plastic dishes?
Glass dishes can be washed and reused, which suits teaching and diagnostic laboratories with steady daily use. Disposable plastic dishes avoid washing but create more waste.
How many dishes come in one pack?
The pack quantity is not listed on this page. Tell us how many dishes you need and we will quote accordingly.
How should used dishes be cleaned?
Decontaminate cultures first, then remove the medium, wash with laboratory detergent, rinse with distilled water and dry before sterilising again. Discard any dish with cracks or chipped rims.
Do you supply larger quantities for colleges or export?
Yes. Institutional and bulk orders are quoted on request for laboratories in India and international markets.
