- Pretty good Petri dishes Review by Meade
-
Price Value Quality These dishes are pretty well-formed, being flat on the bottom and fairly so around the rim, something not always true of Petri dishes. The flint glass is more breakable than borosilicate, but it is cheaper. One dish was received broken and another broke in my hand when I squeezed it too hard, so treat them more carefully than borosilicate. The tops are quite a bit larger than the bases, allowing them to move a lot. That may be a plus or minus or inconsequential to you, but that's my note. I tape all dishes so the air space hasn't mattered to me as far as contamination and drying.

- Pretty good Petri dishes Review by Mongoose
-
Price Value Quality My review largely is a comparison of these flint glass Petri dishes with borosilicate dishes that I have bought in the past.
These, made of flint glass, are more brittle and break more easily than the borosilicate ones. One was broken on delivery and one broke in my hand as I squeezed it too tightly. So I now treat them as the more fragile set of dishes.
The other difference is in the size of the lids. With these flint glass dishes, the lid is much larger than the base, leaving more space for the lid to move. The borosilicate set I have are much closer fitting. That may be a plus or minus or inconsequential to you, but there's the info for you.
On the whole, the dishes are well-formed and are flat on the bottom and fairly so on the rim, something surprisingly not true of all Petri dishes.(Posted on 5/17/11)
