Petri dish
A shallow, round dish used to culture bacteria or cells. Essential for laboratory experiments and observations.
The Petri dish is a shallow, flat, circular dish made of glass or plastic. It is widely used for culturing microorganisms and observing cell growth. By adding a sterile growth medium, researchers can grow and visually inspect colony formation. It plays a key role in microbiology, cell biology, food safety testing, and environmental sample analysis. The lid helps prevent contamination while allowing gas exchange. Glass Petri dishes can be sterilized in an autoclave, whereas disposable plastic versions offer convenience. This basic labware is essential for documenting experimental procedures and research findings.
