Petri Dishes

Petri dishes are shallow, cylindrical containers used for culturing microorganisms.

They are made from glass or clear plastic and feature a lid that covers the dish.

Each dish typically has a smooth surface to facilitate even growth of cultures.

Standard sizes include 90mm and 100mm, suitable for various laboratory needs.

These dishes are designed for single use to ensure sterility and prevent contamination.

Petri dishes are primarily used in microbiology labs, hospitals, and clinics for growing bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

They are essential for research and diagnostic purposes in both clinical and educational settings.

Healthcare professionals, microbiologists, and laboratory technicians utilize these dishes to analyze samples and conduct experiments.

Available across Nairobi and other counties, they serve both institutional and home healthcare needs.

To maintain petri dishes, handle them with care to avoid breakage.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Clean glass dishes with appropriate detergents and rinse thoroughly before reuse.

For plastic dishes, use them as single-use items to ensure sterility.

Proper disposal of used dishes is crucial to prevent contamination in healthcare settings in Kenya.
