A petri dish is a shallow, transparent dish that biologists use to culture cells. Culturing cells is a tedious process that refers to the removal of cells from an animal or plant and their growth in an artificial, controlled environment.
The petri dish is a staple in laboratories and scientists use them every day. It has been common since the late 19th century.
The BioMedical Scientist of IBMS quotes Andrea Sella, an award-winning chemist, broadcaster and classic science kit and equipment enthusiast, in an article titled “The Big Story, The Petri Dish.” She says the following:
“[Petri Dish] means ‘living laboratory’ and is used to signify any interesting experiments that are taking place. I don’t think there’s an equivalent. The Petri dish, as both equipment and idea, will be around for a long time.”
Foxx Life Sciences aides innovation, and that is why we offer Borosil® brand petri dishes to fulfill any of our customers’ wide-ranging needs. Although these dishes are primarily for cell culture, our petri dishes are manufactured to support crystalizing, evaporating, drying, and storing of cells. They also support assay and microbiological works. All of Foxx’s petri dishes comply with IS 2626 and are Class/Quality Grade Type 1. They are ideal for routine work and are made of 3.3 Borosilicate Glass.
Our Petri Dishes are inert and can remain clear despite being repeatedly sterilized. The cost per petri dish decreases with each subsequent use. Foxx Life Sciences offers a selection that allows our customers to choose petri dishes by the size of OD (outside diameter) and H (height). All petri dish bundles come with covers!
We recognize the need for petri dishes in every laboratory and want to make sure our customers have access to high quality products. Check out our entire petri dish collection here.

Assess your fluid handling volumes, sterility requirements, compatibility with solvents or reagents, and workflow endpoints. Foxx’s technical support team can assist in selecting assemblies and filtration components suited to your process.
Biotech, pharmaceutical manufacturing, vaccine production, research laboratories, clinical development, and diagnostic centres widely use Foxx single-use systems and consumables.
Yes. With global manufacturing facilities and strict quality control, Foxx products meet regulatory requirements in major markets including the US, EU, and Asia for scientific, clinical, and manufacturing applications.
Labs should follow regulatory guidelines for sterility assurance levels, validate fluid handling pathways, perform risk assessments per relevant standards (e.g., FDA, USP), and maintain traceability documentation for audit readiness. (Industry practice)
Yes. The company’s cleanroom manufacturing and quality certifications make its products suitable for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environments where sterility and documentation standards are required.
Foxx Life Sciences offers Autofil® 2, EZlabpure™ and APEX™ bottle top filters, EZlabpure™ and EZFlow syringe filters, membrane disc filters, vent filters, and cell strainers engineered for high-purity filtration in analytical labs, bioprocessing, and cell culture workflows.
Foxx stands out for its ISO-certified quality, USP Class VI materials, extensive SKU portfolio with patented designs, rapid shipment, and global manufacturing footprint, providing superior compliance, performance, and cost value.
Foxx offers custom single-use solutions and assemblies designed to meet unique workflow requirements, enabling bespoke fluid paths, connectors, and tailored assemblies to optimize specific lab processes.
Standard Foxx products typically ship within 24–48 hours, while Made-to-Order (MTO) or custom SUT assemblies generally ship in 4–6 weeks, balancing speed with tailored specifications.
Single-use systems reduce contamination risk, eliminate cleaning and sterilization validation needs, cut turnaround times, lower labour and water use, and improve overall operational efficiency.
Foxx products are manufactured under ISO 13485 quality management systems in ISO Class 7 certified cleanrooms, use USP Class VI materials, and many are FDA registered. This ensures reliability, compliance, and suitability for regulated environments.
Single-Use Technology refers to disposable fluid handling and storage assemblies used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and labs that eliminate traditional cleaning and sterilization processes, reducing contamination risk and operational complexity.
Foxx Life Sciences provides a broad range of life science and bioprocess consumables, including single-use systems (SUS), custom tubing & bottle assemblies, filtration products, lab safety equipment, glassware, plasticware, caps & gaskets, connectors, vent filters, and stainless-steel components for research, biotech, and pharmaceutical applications.
