Dishes

Lab dishes are essential labware for handling, processing, and observing samples across a wide range of laboratory workflows. From routine sample preparation to specialized cell culture and biotech applications, MIDSCI offers lab dishes designed for performance, reliability, and ease of use. Our selection supports everything from sterile environments and cleanroom protocols to general lab supplies used in daily research.

Whether you’re working with reagents, solvents, or biological samples, our lab dishes help maintain sample integrity while supporting compatibility with microscopes, centrifuge workflows, and automation systems.

Types of Lab Dishes

Glass Dishes

Manufactured from high-quality borosilicate glass, glass dishes include evaporating dishes, crystallizing dishes, and watch glasses. These dishes offer excellent chemical resistance, are autoclavable, and are ideal for heating, evaporation, and solvent handling.

Metal Dishes

Aluminum dishes provide durability and thermal stability for drying, weighing, and evaporation tasks. These aluminum dishes are commonly used with evaporators, desiccators, and ovens for controlled laboratory processes.

Petri Dishes

Available in sterile and non-sterile formats, petri dish options include sterile petri dishes made from polystyrene for microbiology and biotech use. These dishes are stackable, compatible with culture plates and microplates, and suitable for use with pipette and syringe workflows.

Tissue Culture Dishes

Cell culture dishes and tissue culture dishes are designed to support optimal cell culture and suspension dishes workflows. These lab dishes are sterile, non-pyrogenic, and suitable for use in ISO-controlled environments and cleanroom applications.

Weighing Dishes

Weighing dishes and weighing boats are ideal for accurate mass measurements and sample transfers. Designed for sample preparation dishes, they are compatible with reagents, vials, dispensers, and centrifuge handling.
