SG Line Petri Dishes
Introduction
A Petri Dish, also known as the Cell Culture Dish, is a shallow cylindrical-shaped round glass used to create a colony of microorganisms and cells. Julius Petri invented the first Petri Dish in 1887 when he realized the need to keep specimens of growing bacteria sterilized.
The Petri Dishes are manufactured in Borosilicate Glass, SG Line, and Disposable Plasticware.
SG Line Petri Dishes
The SG Line Petri Dishes are entirely flat from the inside and have a soda covering on the inner lining. They are bubble-free and have high clarity. The lime obtained from limestone is added to these plates to ensure better chemical durability.
These Petri Dishes are highly inert in behavior. They can be sterilized and remain clear even after repeated use and wash. The Soda-Lime Petri Dishes can be recycled and reused by melting them.
