Petri Dishes
Conventional & STAR DISH Series


Our sterile and particulate-free Petri dishes are made of crystal-clear, virgin, high molecular medical grade polystyrene, produced by an ISO certified company. All dishes are 100% visually inspected. Each lot undergoes a thorough sterility testing performed by an independent microbiological testing laboratory before a sterility certificate is issued. The testing procedure follows the latest USP standards. Phoenix Biomedical has been ISO registered since 1995.

We offer an upgraded and value-added packaging design. The cardboard inserts have been removed and two sterile REUSABLE AUTOCLAVABLE liners have been added to reduce contamination risk. All 600 per case products contain 2 packs of 300 plates wrapped in REUSABLE AUTOCLAVABLE liner, each holding 12 AUTOCLAVABLE “EZ OPEN” sleeves of 25 dishes. The innovative packaging simplifies the removal of the carton content and facilitates hygienic transfer technique to your laboratory or clean-room.

The STAR™DISH is the only laboratory product awarded the “ECO-LOGO” Environmental Seal of Approval. The Government of Canada grants this prestigious award to environmentally correct products.

Advantages
  • Highly competitive prices due to innovation in part design and manufacturing process.
  • 35% reduction in plastic used and disposed of in the "Environmentally-friendly" STAR™DISH series.
  • Elimination of ETO residual which causes false negative reading and is health hazardous.
  • Elimination of Gamma radiation which causes discolouration and stress marks; dish becomes brittle and easy to break. Irradiation is also health hazardous.
  • Total absence of particles, dust, foreign objects and hydraulic oil vapour which mask analysis results and give erroneous readings.

STAR™DISH Series
90x15mm STAR™DISH nesting ALPINE
The unique recessed lid on this dish offers excellent stacking stability and saves space. It works with most models of media pouring equipment, an absolute must for manual pourers. Four ventilation lugs on underside of lid allow for venting, and prevent condensation from developing and dripping onto culture. The extremely flat bottom allows a reduction in the amount of media required. Patented cross ribs on the bottom make the dish resilient and resistant to warpage when the media is poured at a high temperature. Excellent for performing colony counts, since ribs provide a useful border for making quadrants.
