Coating petri dishes

[maurice]

It's probably not possible to buy the Nalgene dishes in Europe: the Amex website redericts me to a swiss distributor, and the Novodirect site leads me to to a similar looking page.
And both request a business number (they say it is to ensure that they do not sell dangerous products to private persons). I am waiting for a reply to my question how petri dishes can be dangerous.
Seems like they don't need my money...

Maurice - are these the right ones?

I've bought from them before with no issues; I can't imagine they wouldn't ship within the EU.

Yep those are the ones, corning also makes a fairly flat bottomed glass dish as well.

If you end up having too much trouble I do have plenty of dishes, and can ship uncoated ones quickly. International shipping is about $12 for 4-5 dishes.

coleparmer.com is were I stareted .

But I found two other suppliers in Austria and Germany, maybe they want to sell me something

(they just replied, won't be an issue, and it is also the best price: 4.30€ per dish, so way better than coleparmer.

That levelling table is pretty darn awesome! Nice idea! if only i had a laser cutter to hand

[deadmeat30]

Maurice, you said that you have the files for the levelling plate. Is it possible to grab these off you? Fancy making myself one.

Regards,

Alan

Yes, of course

you can find the openscad and the dxf files there.

Not shown on the picture is the dust cover.

The petri leveling table is a bit of a waste of material, as the circles could be closer. So I'm gonna cut the bare leveling table for coating more dishes.

anyone have a good supplier in Canada

if your in a rush, let it sit one hour on the level surface or till the bubbles are worked out. then in the oven for 2-3 hours
works prefect
