Petri dishes are used in microbiology to culture bacteria, micro-organisms or cells. Made of glass or plastic, a Petri dish always consists of a flat, circular base where the cultures are placed, and a lid to hermetically seal the dish to encourage culture development.
Common applications of a Petri dish include:
>Culturing microorganisms: Preparing culture media and inoculating specimens
> Cell biology: Growing cell cultures and observing growth patterns or morphology
> Antibiotic sensitivity testing
> Various experiments: Seed germination and studying microbial ecology
The sterilization of a glass Petri dish must be carried out using an autoclave to ensure proper results. A plastic Petri dish is typically pre-sterilized upon purchase. Ideally, to prevent contamination by external organisms, handling should be performed under a laminar flow hood.
The Petri dish is a standard laboratory tool for culturing and observing microorganisms and cells. Its simple yet effective design makes it a preferred choice for many scientific applications.
