Contact Dishes / Square Petri Dish

Contact Dishes

Contact dishes are used in hygiene monitoring including detection of microorganisms and testing the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection on flat surfaces by means of contact cultures. Particularly in the pharmaceutical and food industries, analysis of germ count and germ species on surfaces is of major importance to detect and identify possible sources of contamination.

• Sterilised by irradiation
• Vented and non-vented options
• Graduation and division into 10 mm squares to enable quick and easy analyses

CELLSTAR® OneWell PlateTM

Filled with agar, the OneWell PlateTM can be used as an HTS petri dish for the cultivation and screening of bacteria. With an area of 95 cm2, the OneWell PlateTM also fills the gap between the petri dishes Cat.-No. 7.664 102 (58 cm2) and Cat.-No. 7.639 102 (143 cm2) / 7.688 102 (144 cm2). Handling and the required incubator space are improved compared to a round cell culture dish. Notches on the left side of the plate and the lid ensure a secured lid position. Beside general bacteriological applications, the OneWell PlateTM can be used as a multipurpose liquid container or disposable for the denaturation, hybridisation and washing of membranes (Southern, Northern and Western Blot). For dot blotting and hybridisation the
OneWell PlateTM can be used as a membrane holder and storage device.
