Description

A rack for Petri dishes is a storage device used to organize and hold Petri dishes in a laboratory setting. It typically consists of a series of individual compartments, each designed to hold a single Petri dish, and a base that supports the compartments.

The rack can be made of a variety of materials, including plastic, metal, or wire, and is often stackable to conserve laboratory space. Some racks may also have a lid to protect the Petri dishes from dust, light, or other environmental factors.

The primary function of a rack for Petri dishes is to provide an organized and convenient way to store Petri dishes. This makes it easier for laboratory workers to access the Petri dishes and reduces the risk of contamination or loss of the cultures.

Racks for Petri dishes are commonly used in medical, industrial, and academic research settings where Petri dishes are used to grow microorganisms or cell cultures. They can also be used in other laboratory settings, such as for storage of small samples or as a base for holding other laboratory equipment.
