Petri Dish, Triple Vent (Product Code: SLE/CH/219) is a sterile, clear polystyrene Petri dish measuring 90mm x 15mm, made for work with micro-organisms and culture media. The triple-vent lid design allows limited air exchange between lid and base, and the mirror finish gives high clarity for viewing and counting colonies. The dishes can be used with plate pourers, are chemical resistant and are intended for in vitro use only. This plastic Petri dish is used in school biology practicals, college microbiology courses and food, water and clinical testing labs, and is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

These dishes are poured with nutrient agar or selective media for streak-plate isolation, pour-plate and spread-plate counts, antibiotic-disc sensitivity demonstrations and environmental sampling such as exposing an open plate to classroom air. Because they arrive sterile, a teacher can move straight to agar plate preparation without first washing and sterilising glassware, and labs with plate pourers can fill them in batches.
Open the packaging only when you are ready to pour, keep lids on except when inoculating, and pour close to a flame or inside a clean cabinet. Once the agar has set, incubate the plates lid-down so condensation does not drip onto the surface. After use, collect plates in an autoclave bag and sterilise them before disposal; polystyrene dishes are meant for single use and are not re-sterilised for reuse.
ScienceLab supplies these sterile dishes as a consumable alongside the lab apparatus it makes. The business is registered as Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited and operates from Ambala in Haryana; see the company profile for more.
