Custom quartz petri dishes are laboratory glassware made to a customer’s specific needs and specifications. They are crafted from high-purity quartz glass (99.998% SiO2) and offer properties such as high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good thermal stability, high light transmittance, and excellent electrical insulation. These dishes can be customized to various sizes, shapes, and specific application requirements, making them suitable for a wide range of laboratory uses, including cell and microbial culture. Suppliers offer customization services for sizes ranging from 10 mm to 300 mm, ensuring products maintain their shape with a smooth growth surface. Custom quartz petri dishes are also widely used in high-temperature and strong acid/base environments in areas such as epidemic prevention stations, hospitals, biological product facilities, and the food and pharmaceutical industries.

High-Temperature Resistance
Quartz petri dishes can withstand extremely high temperatures, with long-term working temperatures ranging from 1100°C to 1250°C and short-term exposure to temperatures up to 1450°C.
Corrosion Resistance
Quartz glass is inert to almost all acids (except hydrofluoric acid), offering superior acid resistance that is 30 times greater than that of ceramics and 150 times greater than that of stainless steel.
High Light Transmittance
Quartz glass exhibits excellent light transmittance across the entire spectrum from ultraviolet to infrared. Its visible light transmittance is greater than 95%, and its maximum transmittance in the ultraviolet spectral range exceeds 85%.
Chemical Stability
Quartz glass has exceptional chemical stability and does not readily react with other chemical substances. This makes it a popular choice in laboratories, especially for experiments where maintaining the purity of the vessel is critical.
Application Scenario
Quartz petri dishes can withstand extremely high temperatures. Their long-term working temperatures range from 1100°C to 1250°C, and they can withstand temperatures up to 1450°C for short durations.
Quartz petri dishes are inert to almost all acids, except for hydrofluoric acid. Their acid resistance is 30 times greater than that of ceramics and 150 times greater than that of stainless steel.
Quartz petri dishes have excellent transmittance across the entire spectrum from ultraviolet to infrared. Their visible light transmittance is greater than 95%, and their maximum transmittance in the ultraviolet spectral range is over 85%, making them very suitable for experiments requiring high light transmittance.
Frequently asked questions
Quartz glass is a hard and brittle material with excellent physical and chemical properties, extremely high mechanical hardness, good electrical insulation, high temperature and corrosion resistance, low and stable delay performance, good light transmittance, etc. It is widely used in semiconductors, optics, electricity, chemistry, aerospace, automobiles and other fields. Hard and brittle materials are difficult to process, and many fields urgently need cutting processes with small edge collapse, less material loss, low cross-section roughness, and a wide cutting thickness range. The traditional cutting method of quartz glass is mechanical cutting, that is, wheel cutting. Non-traditional cutting methods include water jet cutting, electrochemical discharge wire cutting, continuous laser cutting, etc. Mechanical cutting has low cost, but the contact between the wheel and the material causes large tool wear, and the material is easily contaminated by the tool. Quartz glass is prone to edge collapse, microcracks, and residual stress, which affects the strength and performance of the material! It is difficult to achieve curve cutting and requires post-processing, such as grinding and polishing. Laser cutting does not directly contact the material, has no contact stress, and can perform complex curve cutting. Picosecond laser has the advantages of small spot diameter, high precision, short action time with the material, and small action area, and is suitable for the processing of hard and brittle materials.
