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.Â
Petri dishes or petri plates are ideal for use in routine work. They are used as laboratory equipment in the field of biology. It makes scientists easy to learn more about cell structure and its colonies. These petri plates are essential in observing seed germination at school and college labs. Petri dish comes with a lid to prevent the process from dirt and atmospheric reactions. They are reused by repeated sterilizing. Petri dishes, also known as Peachery Petri Dishes, are very economical and available in different sizes.Â
Major Challenges FacedÂ
Before the invention of Petri Dishes, the cultures were grown in test tubes, old liquor bottles, and glass jars, which were prone to the atmosphere. Covering them with a lid protects the cultures, but they still get contaminated. Moreover, lifting the top to check inside the jar often led to condensation and atmospheric sediments to enter in. Hence, it could not develop the colonies of microorganisms.Â
ÂTypes of Petri Dishes

Features :
Cleaning: A Petri Dish is effortless to clean. One can wash it under running water or bleach the dish, further sterilized and ready to use again.Â
Storage: The Petri Dishes should be stored upside down when in use. They should be stored in a cool and dry place or a refrigerator to prevent condensation.Â
Life: The Petri Dishes have a long life depending upon their usage. Disposable Petri Dishes are used once and then disposed off, whereas the glass Petri Dishes are reused after sterilization.Â

The Petri Dishes are manufactured in Borosilicate Glass, SG Line, and Disposable Plasticware.Â
SG Line Petri DishesÂ
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.Â
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.Â
