Overview
Plating cultures in a large dish is what these Karter Scientific polystyrene petri dishes are for. They are sterile by ethylene oxide, single use, and have vents to allow limited gas exchange.
The reason to buy is sterile packaging with clear polystyrene for easy viewing of growth. The limitation is that they are single use and vented, which rules them out where gas must be excluded.
Who it's for
Microbiology benches and teaching labs that run routine plates and discard them afterward. Work that needs to exclude gas exchange should pick a non-vented dish, and reusing dishes calls for glass.
Pros and cons
- Sterile, ready to use
- Vented for gas exchange
- Single use, no washing
- Large dish size
- Single use only
- Vented, not for anaerobic work
- Plastic, not autoclavable
- Pack of 10 only
Performance notes
The vents allow some gas exchange, which suits aerobic growth, while clear polystyrene lets colonies be viewed through the lid. Ethylene oxide sterilization means the dishes arrive ready to use.

Frequently asked questions
Can I reuse or autoclave these dishes?
No. The description says single use, and they are polystyrene, so they are not made for repeated sterilization.
Are these vented petri dishes?
Yes. The title lists 3 vents, and the description says multi-vented dishes improve gas exchange.
Are they suitable for anaerobic work?
The description says non-vented dishes are for anaerobic and long term work, so these vented dishes are not the right match.
