Petri Dishes are alternately known as Petri places or cell-culture dishes. These are shallow cylindrical glass or plastic lidded dishes that biologists use to culture cells – such as bacteria – or small mosses. These dishes are made of high-quality PTFE material.
PTFE Petri dishes represent a high-quality type of labware that is inert, as all items are manufactured from pure virgin PTFE and can be used to a temperature of approximately 280°C (536°F). The finish is very smooth to minimize the chances of anything “sticking” to them.
