A Rack for Petri Dishes is a specially designed laboratory accessory used to store, organize, transport, and sometimes incubate Petri dishes in a clean and efficient manner. These racks are crucial for ensuring sterility, safe handling, and optimal use of space in microbiology and biotechnology laboratories.
Petri dish racks are typically made from durable, autoclavable materials such as:
-
Stainless steel (for long-term reuse, chemical resistance, and high-temperature sterilization),
-
Acrylic or polycarbonate (for clear visibility and light weight),
-
Polypropylene (PP) (chemical-resistant and cost-effective for lighter use).
The rack is designed with horizontal slots or trays that securely hold Petri dishes in either vertical (side-by-side) or horizontal (stacked) orientation. Most standard racks accommodate dishes 90–100 mm in diameter, which is the most common Petri dish size. Some advanced models feature lids, covers, or doors to protect samples from contamination, and others are designed to be modular or stackable, optimizing space in incubators, refrigerators, or lab benches.
