    This is a 500-dish case of sterile, disposable 90 x 15mm petri dishes, packed as 25 sealed sleeves of 20. Open one sleeve at a time and the other 24 stay sterile until you need them. It is the case quantity for labs, schools and culture producers who pour agar every week.

    The dishes are Microppose optical-grade polystyrene with triple-vented lids and flat bottoms. At 16 grams each they are about 25% heavier than typical disposables, so tall stacks stay steady and lids seat cleanly.

    Why labs buy by the case

    Sterile until opened

    Each sleeve is gamma-irradiated and nitrogen-flushed, so unopened sleeves stay sterile on the shelf.

    Clear and sturdy

    Optical-grade polystyrene for clean reads and photos, heavy enough to stack hundreds of plates.

    Production-ready

    Flat bottoms give even agar depth, and smooth surfaces suit automated plate handlers.

    Pouring your plates

    1Make the agar

    Mix LME agar powder with water in an autoclavable bottle and pressure sterilize it.

    2Cool it

    Let the agar cool until the bottle is comfortable to hold but the agar is still liquid.

    3Pour clean

    Open one sleeve in front of a flow hood or in a still air box and pour about 18-20 mL per plate.

    4Set and store

    Let plates set with lids on, then stack upside down and seal with lab poly film.

    Single-use: these polystyrene dishes can't be autoclaved. Pouring this many every month? Compare the reusable autoclavable case.

    Common questions

    Can I autoclave these?

    No. They are polystyrene and single-use. Choose the reusable polypropylene case if you want to autoclave and reuse dishes.

    How are they packed?

    25 sealed sleeves of 20 dishes, so you only open what you need.

    How much agar goes in each plate?

    About 18 to 20 mL per 90mm plate gives an even layer that won't dry out too quickly.

    The picture is hard to see but these came perfectly stacked and packaged in multiple boxes for safety. I have poured over 200 already and not a single drop of contamination on my agar. If you are already buying you second or third set of pre-poured plates I suggest just going for this box. You WILL end up using them.

    Great Deal!

    I couldn't pass up such a great deal on these plates! It might take me the rest of my life to use them all though. I have bought all my myco supplies from Midwest in the last year and couldn't be happier!

    Great Deal! Nice Quality dishes

    I dont use that many dishes but you can't pass this deal up! They come in packs of 10 sealed and sterile, probably last me 2 years but eventually I'll use them. If you buy a case they are only $1.98 per sleeve! Cheaper than any website, even Amazon, Ebay etc! The quality is actually better than I expected for this price! These plates are sturdy and perfectly vented. They stack nice and don't bend or crack easily. I expected to have some cracked plates, as UPS is always hard on my boxes around here, but as far as I see there are none! The box was a little beat up but there is a 2nd internal box as well. 5 stars!
