Reusable Autoclavable Petri Dish Kit 8x 70mm Screw-Top PP Dishes in 1000ml screw-top Container with Tyvek 1073B Filter in lid. �� The Sustainable, Zero-Waste Mycology Solution Stop paying for and throwing away flimsy plastic dishes! The SPeS Reusable Petri Dish Kit is proudly Made in SA and designed for the rigorous, repeated use demanded by serious home cultivators and school labs. This system makes sterility simple, sustainable, and affordable. Key Advantages over Disposable Dishes: Massive Cost Savings: Each dish can be sterilized 250 times at 121°C. Save hundreds of Rand compared to constantly buying disposable Polystyrene (PS) dishes. Screw-Top Security (No Spills!): Threaded lids ensure a secure seal for safe stacking and transport. No more accidental “bottom-out” spills ruining your sterile workflow or incubator. Contamination-Free Storage Kit: The dishes nest perfectly inside the included 1000ml container, which features a medical-grade Tyvek 1073B filter. This container acts as a sterile archive for long-term culture storage or for transport post-autoclaving. Deeper Dish, Longer Life: The 20mm depth holds 20–25ml of agar (3x more than shallow PS dishes), ensuring your media stays moist and viable for months—near slant-storage life! Eco-Conscious: Made from durable, virgin Polypropylene (PP) that drastically cuts down on laboratory plastic waste. Tougher Than Glass, Superior Value: Why risk R100 per dish on fragile borosilicate glassware that chips and breaks during normal lab work? Our robust PP dishes handle the spills and drops of real life without chipping or shattering, giving you reliable, long-term performance without the constant replacement cost of glass.
