Pjata Petri (Product Code: SCL289/045) is a round, clear glass Petri dish with lid used to grow microbial cultures, germinate seeds and hold specimens for observation in biology and microbiology labs. It measures 100 mm across and 20 mm high, and its glass is listed as heat and chemical resistant, so the dish can be washed and reused. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as a glass Petri dish for labs in India and overseas.

In school microbiology, a Petri dish filled with agar shows pupils that invisible microbes are everywhere: swab a hand before and after washing, streak the plate, and colonies appear after incubation. The same dish lined with damp filter paper becomes a seed germination chamber, and an empty one holds pond water, small invertebrates, crystals or dissected parts for viewing under a magnifier. The clear glass lets students see growth without lifting the lid.
Label the base rather than the lid, incubate agar plates upside down so condensation does not drip onto the culture, and tape the lid closed on cultured plates so they are not opened in class. Because the glass is heat resistant, the dishes can go through the washing and heat-sterilising routine that a college microbiology lab normally uses before reuse.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades under the ScienceLab name, is the OEM for Pjata Petri and makes the dishes at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Microbiology departments, schools, dealers and importers can order direct from the producer, and quantity breaks or breakage top-ups are arranged with the same team — send us your requirement.

Pjata Petri is the catalogue name taken from the original listing language and simply means “Petri dish”. The product is a clear, round glass Petri dish with lid, 100 mm in diameter.
Is Pjata Petri reusable?
Yes. Pjata Petri is made of glass listed as heat resistant and chemical resistant, so it can be cleaned and sterilised by the usual laboratory methods and used again, unlike single-use plastic dishes. Handle it carefully, as dropped glass can chip or break.
Does Pjata Petri come with a lid?
Yes, Pjata Petri is accompanied by a lid. The lid keeps airborne contamination out of cultures and slows evaporation, and on agar plates it should be taped shut once the dish has been inoculated in a school lab.
