Petri Dishes Gamma & ETO Sterilized

P180411

Petri dishes sterilized via gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide (ETO) are essential for contamination-free culturing in labs, pharmaceuticals, and clinical settings. Here’s why they’re preferred:

Gamma-Sterilized:

• Deep penetration – Ensures 100% sterility, even in stacked dishes.
• No residue – Ideal for sensitive cell cultures and molecular work.

ETO-Sterilized:

• Gentle on plastics – Suitable for heat-sensitive materials (e.g., PVC, polystyrene with vents).
• Effective for pre-assembled dishes (e.g., with absorbent pads).

Material & Design Advantages

• Polystyrene (PS):
• Clear – Optimal for microscopy.
• Vented – For CO₂ incubators (cell culture).
• Polypropylene (PP): Autoclavable post-ETO for harsh solvents.
• Pre-sterilized – DNase/RNase-free, non-pyrogenic.
