Sterilizing Glass Petri Dishes
Turn on and preheat the electric hot-air sterilizing oven to 160 degrees C.
Using a soft, non-abrasive cloth, antibacterial dish soap and warm water, gently clean and rinse the Petri dishes. The Petri dishes should be free of all debris.
Dry the Petri dishes with a soft, non-abrasive dry cloth. Set aside.
Place the Petri dishes in the sterilizing oven, face up. Set the timer for two hours.
After two hours, turn the oven off and allow the oven to cool prior to removing the glass Petri dishes.
Remove the Petri dishes from the oven using sterile lab tongs. Do not allow your fingers or any unsterile material to touch the sterilized Petri dishes.
Store the sterilized Petri dishes in a sterile area until next use.
Sterilizing Plastic Petri Dishes
Mix 1/2 cup of Clorox (any 10 percent bleach solution will work) with 4 1/2 cups of warm tap water. You can mix more or less of the sterilization solution by remembering it one part bleach to nine parts water. Set the mixture aside.
Using a soft, non-abrasive cloth, antibacterial dish soap and warm water, gently clean and rinse the plastic Petri dishes. The Petri dishes should be free of all debris, including any soap residue.
Place the Petri dishes into the sterile bleach solution, one at a time, for approximately two minutes each.
Using sterile lab tongs, remove the Petri dish from the solution. Allow it to air drip for a few seconds; place it in a bowl of rubbing alcohol.

How are petri dishes sterilised before use?
Glass petri dishes and agar gel must be sterilised before use by using an autoclave , or pre-sterilised plastic petri dishes can be bought. Reason - this will kill any unwanted bacteria that are present in the solution or on the petri dishes.
How long to sterilize petri dishes?
Sterilizing glass Petri dishes depends on the temperature of the oven. It is recommended to place the oven at 160 degrees C for one to two hours, or 180 degrees C for 20 minutes.
Can I reuse petri dishes?
Designed specifically for microbiology or cell culture use, petri dishes come in a variety of sizes and can be disposable or reusable. Reusable petri dishes can withstand repeated wet or dry sterilization procedures.
Why do we Sterilise the petri dishes?
It is important to sterilise solutions and equipment to kill the bacteria already on them. Otherwise they would grow and contaminate the culture to be studied. An uncontaminated culture of microorganisms can be grown using sterilised Petri dishes and agar.
