Flat, clear dishes that can withstand repeated sterilization (wet or dry).

• Beaded edges to provide greater mechanical strength
• Covered dishes are not airtight

These Pyrex® Petri Dishes are perfect for repeated use in the classroom or laboratory. The edges are beaded to provide greater mechanical strength. The bead also provides a means to equally space the side walls of the bottom and cover, thereby reducing the capillary action of the condensed moisture on the sides. They are not affected chemically or thermally by any of the methods commonly employed in laboratories where sterilization is routinely used. The covered dish is not airtight. Covers are marked in blue enamel and the bottoms in white enamel to make sorting easier. Bottoms also have a triangular enamel reference point for serial dilutions.
