What is a petri?
A Petri dish is a shallow glass or plastic cylindrical lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells. It was named after German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri, who invented it when working as an assistant to Robert Koch. Glass Petri dishes can be re-used by sterilization (for example, dry heating in a hot air oven at 160 °C for one hour); plastic Petri dishes must be disposed of after one use.
Why should you label the petri dishes correctly?
Labeling petri dishes correctly is important for proper identification of the samples being studied. This helps prevent mix-ups, ensures accurate data collection and analysis, and allows for traceability in case of any issues or discrepancies.
Why should petri dishes be sterilized in the oven for a long time?
Sterilizing petri dishes in the oven for a long time ensures that all microorganisms, including spores, are killed. This helps to prevent contamination of samples and ensures accurate results in experiments or cultures. Heat-resistant materials like glass or plastic petri dishes can withstand high temperatures in the oven without melting or warping.
