Petri dishes
- A petri dish is a flat, shallow dish made of glass or plastic with a suitable lid. A petri dish is used to culture different types of cells, including bacteria and molds. It often contains a nutritional medium on which the cells can grow.
- Glass or plastic
Petri dishes can be made of either glass or plastic. Both with their respective pros and cons. The glass petri dish is made of a heat resistant glass which can be sterilized by the use of an autoclave for repeated use. Plastic petri dishes are often for single use and must be discarded.
