Petri Dish Plastic is a shallow, cylindrical laboratory container made from clear, chemically resistant plastic materials such as polystyrene or polypropylene. Designed for single-use or limited reuse, plastic Petri dishes provide a convenient and cost-effective alternative to glass, especially in applications where sterility and disposability are priorities. These dishes are commonly used in microbiology, cell

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

1. Basic Identification Attributes

Material: Polystyrene, polypropylene, or similar clear plastics.
Shape: Shallow cylindrical dish with flat bottom and matching lid.
Sizes: Available in various diameters (commonly 35mm, 60mm, 90mm, 100mm, 150mm).
Closure: Loose-fitting or snap-on lid to allow gas exchange while minimizing contamination.
Sterility: Often supplied pre-sterilized and individually packaged.

2. Physical & Chemical Properties

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to aqueous solutions but may be sensitive to some organic solvents.
Thermal Resistance: Generally suitable for incubation temperatures up to 37–60°C; not autoclaveable.
Transparency: Clear for easy specimen observation under microscopes.
Durability: Impact resistant and shatterproof compared to glass.

3. Safety & Hazard Attributes

Non-breakable, reducing risk of injury from shards.
Disposal considerations for biohazardous material after use.

4. Storage & Handling Attributes

Store in a clean, dry, sterile environment.
Handle with gloves to maintain sterility.
Avoid exposure to solvents and extreme temperatures.

5. Regulatory & Compliance Attributes

Manufactured in compliance with laboratory safety and sterility standards.
Suitable for use in GMP and GLP compliant laboratories.

6. Environmental & Health Impact

Generally non-recyclable through typical municipal systems due to biohazard risk; follow proper disposal protocols.
Single-use disposability reduces cross-contamination risk but increases waste.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

Use PPE such as gloves and masks during handling to prevent contamination.
Dispose of used dishes according to biohazard waste regulations.

First Aid Measures

No specific first aid needed; handle waste to avoid infection risk.

Firefighting Measures

Combustible plastic; use CO₂, foam, or dry chemical extinguishers.
Avoid inhalation of toxic fumes during fire.
