Petri dishes

Culture dishes - or Petri dishes as they are commonly called - are shallow, circular, glass, or plastic containers with a lid. They are designed for growing and storing microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. The Petri dish is divided into two parts: the bottom for placing the sample, and the lid. It is worth noting that the dish is not completely airtight, as gas exchange is required for the growth of the culture. 

Petri dishes are essential tools in the laboratory, providing a safe and sterile environment for conducting experiments. They allow scientists to observe, grow and store cultures of microbes, study bacterial colonies, and test the effectiveness of antibiotics. They are used by agronomists, chemists, biochemists, microbiologists, etc.

Petri dishes are available in various sizes, shapes, and materials, allowing a wide range of uses. The most common type of petri dish is the plastic petri dish as it is disposable, economical, and easy to use. Another type of culture dish is a glass petri dish which is suitable for multiple uses. In both cases, the drills can be single or divided into 2 or 3 parts.
