Sterile, bagged in tens - 70c a plate
90mm diameter, 15mm external depth, 12mm internal. Sterile plastic with safety lids. 10 sterile bags of 10, 100 in a box, $70.00.
The packaging is the feature. Ten sterile bags of ten rather than one bag of a hundred means you open a bag, use ten, and the other ninety stay sterile. A single opened box of a hundred is a box of ninety contaminated dishes after the first lesson.
Sterile is what you need for anything you intend to grow. A plate that starts sterile means what appears on it came from the sample, which is the entire point of the experiment.
What is not included: no growth medium, no agar, and no handling guidance from the supplier. For school microbiology, follow your state or system's guidance on what may be cultured, and talk to your lab technician about incubation temperature and plate disposal before you start. We are not going to give safety advice on the manufacturer's behalf.
Transparent, so growth is observed without lifting the lid. At 70c a plate it is cheaper per dish than the non-sterile pack of 20.
