SUMMARY

The discussion centers on sourcing glass or Pyrex petri dishes with tight seals or threaded lids suitable for containing ferro-fluid. User Taylaron expresses difficulty in finding such dishes, prompting suggestions from other forum members. A recommended source is BD's product catalog, specifically product number 351006, which features tight-lid petri dishes. Additionally, the term 'agar plate' is mentioned as a common type of petri dish, although it may not meet the sealing requirements for ferro-fluid.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of petri dish types and their applications
  • Familiarity with ferro-fluid properties and handling
  • Knowledge of laboratory supply sources and product catalogs
  • Basic research skills for online product searches
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "tight-lid petri dishes" for specific product options
  • Explore "ferro-fluid containment solutions" for alternative vessels
  • Investigate "agar plates" and their sealing capabilities
  • Review laboratory supply companies like BD for specialized products
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for laboratory technicians, researchers working with ferro-fluids, and anyone in need of specialized petri dishes for liquid containment without leakage.

Hi, I am trying to figure out where I can get a glass or Pyrex petri dish that has a tight seal or has a threaded lid. I'm holding a liquid that i don't want leaking out because it stains everything in its path. ferro-fluid.
I've searched for petri dishes and found plenty, but none with a screw-on lid or a tight seal.


what are these types of dishes called? any suggested sellers?

Thanks a bunch

You could try looking for an 'agar plate' (which is a petri dish with agar in it), since that's the most common use of petri dishes nowadays.
