Petri Dish Rack (Product Code: SLE/CH/217) is a clear acrylic rack with white polycarbonate posts that holds 60 Petri dishes of 90 mm diameter in neat stacks. Because the acrylic lets you see the plates from every side, cultures can be checked during incubation without lifting each dish out, and the rack is equally useful while inoculating plates and when storing them afterwards. It is a practical piece of microbiology lab equipment for school biology rooms, college and university labs, and hospital or food-testing labs, and is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

During a class practical, freshly poured or streaked plates go straight into the rack so each student's work stays in order and the bench stays clear. The loaded rack can then be placed in a bacteriological incubator, and the next day the class can compare colony growth through the transparent sides before opening any dish. After the practical, the same rack keeps prepared or finished plates together on a shelf or in a cold store until they are examined or discarded.
Label each plate on its base before racking so the writing stays visible, and follow your usual practice of incubating agar plates lid-down. Clean the rack with mild detergent and water or a suitable surface disinfectant; avoid strong solvents and autoclave cycles, which are not suited to acrylic.
The rack is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a laboratory equipment company in Ambala, Haryana that trades as ScienceLab and serves teaching and testing labs. You can read about the company's work on the about-us profile.
