Sustainable. Precise. Well-Designed. – The new Polystyrene (PS) Petri Dish
With our CO₂-neutrally produced Petri dish made from high-quality Polystyrene (PS) we are setting new standards for responsible laboratory work. This Petri dish combines sustainability, functionality, and precision in a product specifically developed for the high demands of modern laboratory environments.
Manufactured in a resource-saving and energy-efficient manner using state-of-the-art machine technology, it actively contributes to reducing the ecological footprint—without compromising on quality or reliability. Every dish stands for precise manufacturing, excellent transparency and a consistently high product quality, which proves itself in daily lab routines.
A special feature is the wide, beveled rim, which facilitates the automation of filling processes and significantly improves machine glide capability. This ensures smooth processing even in highly automated systems.
The Petri dish features a raised rim for optimized stackability and secure grip, while the generous labeling field enables easy identification and tracking. The simple opening of the bag at the seal also provides for convenient and contamination-free removal – an important detail in practical laboratory operation.
The Petri dish is available with or without ventilation ribs (vents):
- The variant with vents provides a constant air gap between the lid and base, which allows for continuous gas exchange, reduces condensation and promotes more uniform colony growth – ideal for microbiological applications.
The variant without vents is optimal for workflows where a closed environment is preferred.
Moreover, the material used convinces with its highest purity: It is biologically inert, physiologically harmless and free from heavy metals according to EC/94/62. This offers the Petri dish maximum safety and reliability for sensitive cultures and precise analyses.
Available in sterility levels Sterile A (certified aseptic) and Sterile R, it is perfectly suited for a wide range of applications – from research and quality control to routine analysis.
Whether in a university laboratory, industry, or microbiological research – our Petri dish stands for well-thought-out design, sustainable production, and reliable results.

Color-Coded. Stable. Precise. – The Polystyrene (PS) Petri Dish with 3 Vents
The Petri dish made of high-quality Polystyrene (PS) combines functional design, stability, and maximum precision for demanding laboratory work. With a diameter of 90 mm and a height of 16.2 mm, it was specifically developed for reproducible, reliable results – robust, stackable, and clearly structured for efficient work in the lab.
Manufactured with state-of-the-art machine technology and under cleanroom conditions of ISO Class 8 or better (according to DIN EN ISO 14644-1), this Petri dish meets the highest requirements for cleanliness and quality.
The well-thought-out design with three precisely formed vents (ventilation ribs) not only ensures excellent stability and secure stackability, but also provides a constant air gap between the lid and base. This supports gas exchange, reduces condensation and promotes uniform colony growth – a crucial advantage for cultivating microorganisms.
The wide, beveled rim is specially optimized for automated processes and improves machine glide capability as well as processing efficiency. For practical lab routines, the Petri dish also features a generous labeling field for easy identification, as well as easy opening at the weld seam, which facilitates contamination-free removal.
An additional feature is the color coding: The Petri dishes are available in five colors (green, yellow, orange, red, blue) and allow for clear assignment of samples, media, or applications, which improves organization and reduces the risk of error.
The material used is biologically inert, physiologically harmless and free from heavy metals according to EC/94/62, thereby ensuring maximum material purity and safety.
The Petri dish is transparent, temperature resistant from -20 °C to +60 °C and has a shelf life of up to 60 months under controlled storage conditions (40–60 % relative humidity, +10 °C to +30 °C).
The importance of color in practice
| Organizational Strategy | Concrete Laboratory Application |
|---|---|
| Time Management | "One color per weekday": For quick identification of incubation starts. This allows the team to immediately recognize which plates were set up on Monday (Green) or Tuesday (Yellow). |
| Temperature Control | "One color per temperature": Clear visual separation of cultures stored under different conditions (e.g., Blue for cold storage at 4°C, Red for the incubator at 37°C). |
| Staff Assignment | "One color per lab technician": Prevents confusion during simultaneous test series. Each team member is assigned a specific color for their current projects. |
| Prioritization | "Urgency ranking": Immediate recognition of urgent samples. For example, Red signifies "Stat/Emergency," while Green is used for routine screening. |
| Media Differentiation | "Content coding": Fast differentiation of visually similar agar media (e.g., Yellow for selective media, Orange for universal media) to minimize application errors. |
| Batch Separation | "Validation aid": Using a specific color for a new batch or test series to facilitate traceability during quality control. |
Your Advantage in Daily Lab Routine
Implementing this color-coding system reduces the cognitive load on staff. Instead of having to read every label individually, a quick glance into the incubator or refrigerator is enough to determine the priority or affiliation of a sample. This saves valuable time and increases process reliability in diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions about Petri Dishes
When should I choose the version with or without ventilation nubs?
Variants with nubs allow constant gas exchange and reduce condensation – ideal for standard cultivation. Variants without nubs provide a tighter seal and are better suited for long incubations to prevent the agar from drying out.
What is the advantage of the wide, beveled edge?
This edge was specifically developed for automation. It improves glide properties in filling and stacking systems, significantly increasing process reliability in high-throughput laboratories.
Is the polystyrene material suitable for all microbiological applications?
Yes, our high-quality polystyrene is biologically inert, physiologically harmless, and offers excellent optical transparency. It is ideal for microscopic examinations and the visual evaluation of colonies.
What is the shelf life of the Petri dishes?
Under controlled storage conditions (+10 °C to +30 °C, 40-60% humidity), our Petri dishes have a shelf life of up to 60 months. The material remains stable and transparent throughout this period.
