Welcome to the premier destination for CellPro Petri Dishes, where quality meets precision in lab essentials. This category showcases our featured CellPro™ Petri Dish, 100 x 15 mm, sterile, clear with 3 vents (triple-vented), available in convenient 20/pk and 500/case packaging. Designed specifically for lab science experiments, these dishes deliver the reliability researchers demand for cell culture, bacterial plating, and more, ensuring consistent results in demanding environments.
Why CellPro Stands Out in Petri Dishes
CellPro has built a strong reputation in the labware industry for producing durable, high-performance products that prioritize sterility and functionality. What sets CellPro apart is its commitment to innovative design, such as the triple-vented lid that promotes optimal gas exchange while minimizing contamination risks. Unlike standard petri dishes, these feature exceptional optical clarity for easy observation under microscopes, making them a favorite among microbiologists, biologists, and educational labs.
When shopping for petri dishes, focus on key factors like size standardization (100 x 15 mm is the gold standard for most applications), sterility assurance (gamma-irradiated for reliability), and venting configuration. CellPro excels here with its triple vents, which allow better airflow than single-vented alternatives, supporting aerobic cultures without compromising stackability or lid security. The polystyrene construction ensures durability during autoclaving alternatives and withstands routine handling.
Key Features of the CellPro 100 x 15 mm Petri Dish
- Sterile and Ready-to-Use: Pre-sterilized packaging eliminates prep time and cross-contamination risks.
- Triple-Vented Lid: Three vents facilitate CO2 and oxygen exchange, ideal for mammalian cell lines and bacterial growth.
- Crystal Clear PS Material: Superior transparency for colony counting and imaging without distortion.
- Standard Dimensions: 100 x 15 mm fits all standard lab equipment and incubators.
- Bulk Packaging: 20 per pack or 500 per case for cost-effective, high-volume lab operations.
These features make the CellPro dish versatile for a range of protocols, from routine microbial assays to advanced tissue culture work.
Common Use Cases for CellPro Petri Dishes
In microbiology labs, these dishes shine for streak plating, antibiotic sensitivity testing, and fungal cultures, where the venting prevents condensation buildup. Cell biologists appreciate them for adherent cell seeding, thanks to the flat-bottom surface that promotes even growth. Educational settings benefit from their robustness during student experiments, reducing breakage and waste.
For those exploring broader options, check out our Petri Dishes category for various styles, or dive into Lab Dishes for complementary ware. If comparing brands, alternatives like EZ BioResearch Petri Dishes offer similar sterility but may lack the advanced venting of CellPro.
Choosing the Right CellPro Petri Dish for Your Needs
With our focused selection, selecting is straightforward: the triple-vented model suits most aerobic applications. For anaerobic work, consider non-vented options from other lines, but CellPro's design handles hybrid protocols effortlessly. Bulk cases are perfect for high-throughput labs, while packs suit smaller operations. Always verify compatibility with your incubator's stacking requirements.
CellPro's quality control ensures low defect rates, backed by rigorous testing. Compared to generics, CellPro offers better lid fit and clarity, reducing failed experiments. Professionals often pair these with our Glassware & Labware selections for complete setups.
Frequently Asked Questions
