19、) iv ISO 2008 All rights reservedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body inte
20、rested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnica
21、l Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the t
22、echnical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. I
23、SO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 24998 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 48, Laboratory equipment, Subcommittee SC 6, Laboratory and volumetric ware.

24、, (c) BSIBS EN ISO 24998:2008INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 24998:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved 1Plastics laboratory ware Single-use Petri dishes for microbiological procedures 1 Scope This International Standard specifies requirements and test methods for plain, single-use Petri dishes for micro
25、biological use. This International Standard does not apply to products of similar design which may be used for cell or tissue culture purposes. Neither does it apply to dishes supplied ready loaded with microbiological media. NOTE Petri dishes are used for microbiological routine purposes in very la
26、rge numbers and consequently, are often handled by robotic equipment. Users of such equipment should satisfy themselves that the Petri dishes of any given manufacturer are suitable for use with such equipment and, if obtained from several sources, are compatible if mixed. 2 Terms and definitions For
27、 the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 Petri dish combination of a dish with an accompanying loose-fitting lid, intended to preserve the microbiological integrity of its unused or in-use enclosed, interior space 2.2 dish shallow, cylindrical or square, open-to
28、pped container comprising a plane base with an integral outer wall NOTE The dish can be subdivided with internal dividers to form separate compartments. 2.3 lid cover of similar shape to, and larger size than the dish, over which it is placed, inverted, to enclose a working volume NOTE The underside
29、 of the lid can incorporate one or more small protuberances (venting protrusions) to facilitate free circulation of environmental gases. Lids without such protrusions are designed to impede such free circulation. 3 Principle of use Under environmentally controlled conditions, selected to avoid intro
30、duction of unwanted micro-organisms, the lid of the Petri dish is lifted and a quantity of microbiologically nutrient medium introduced (poured) into the dish. The dish is recovered and allowed to equilibrate with a predetermined environment. Under similarly suitable conditions, the lid is lifted ag
31、ain and a sample under investigation is then introduced onto the medium in the dish. Following closure and a period of storage under predetermined conditions, growth of any microorganisms originating from the sample may have occurred, enabling further study. NOTE Attention is drawn to potential nati
32、onal or regional regulations in respect of safe and environmentally compatible disposal of used Petri dishes.

33、ish are specified in this International Standard. Type A: circular dishes, without internal dividers, with or without venting protrusions in the lid Type B: circular dishes, with internal dividers, with or without venting protrusions in the lid Type C: square dishes, without internal dividers, with
34、or without venting protrusions in the lid Type D: square dishes, with internal dividers, with or without venting protrusions in the lid NOTE There can be variants of Type A to Type D in respect of design and construction as given in Clause 6. In that case, detailed specifications are given by the ma
35、nufacturer. 5 Material The Petri dish shall be made from microbiologically inert transparent plastic and may be self-coloured for batch identification purposes, or colourless. The finished dish shall be free from colour variation or discolouration and physical defects such as striations which may im
36、pair its use in microbiology. 6 Design and construction 6.1 General When subjected to visual examination, the Petri dish shall have no sharp edges, projection or surface roughness capable of cutting, puncturing or abrading the skin or gloves of the user, or damaging the packaging. The Petri dish sha
37、ll be free of holes which would permit leakage or compromising of microbiological integrity. The base of the dish and the closed face of the lid shall be planar, within the limits given in Table 1. 6.2 Dimensions The dimensions of the Petri dish shall conform to those given in Table 1 and, where app
38、licable, to other detailed dimensions given in 6.3 to 6.5. NOTE Manufacturing techniques are capable of yielding products conforming to very tight dimensional tolerances frequently closer than 0,02 mm on products of this order of size. It is for that reason, and to allow manufacturers freedom to inn
39、ovate designs, that dimensional tolerances are not specified for the major dimensions in Table 1, but ranges are given from within which manufacturers may choose their basic dimensions. This also allows for innovative wall designs incorporating rims or multiple angles to facilitate automated handlin

43、easured as: the maximum distance between any part of the top face of the base and a horizontal plane touching that face; the maximum distance between any part of the top face of the lid and a horizontal plane touching that face. 6.3 Rim on lid A slight rim may be provided on the outer, closed face o
44、f the lid, close to its circumference or, if square, its outer edge. This rim shall not exceed 1 mm in height. NOTE Such a rim is to discourage dishes within stacks from sliding over one another laterally. 6.4 Compartments If the dish has dividers to create internal compartments, the height of the d
45、ividers shall be between 50 % and 100 % of the height of the dish and shall not allow leakage between compartments. The number of compartments shall be stated in the labelling of primary packaging, see Clauses 10 and 11. 6.5 Venting As referred to in 2.3, one or more venting protuberances (protrusio
46、ns) may be moulded on the inside face of the lid, close to its wall. Such venting protrusions shall extend radially from the wall to exceed the maximum lateral clearance possible between the edge of the dish and the lid. Single venting protrusion shall have a height within the range 0,12 mm to 0,35
47、mm. Multiple venting protrusions shall be symmetrically disposed on the lid and shall have a height within the range 0,25 mm to 0,7 mm. The provision of venting shall be designated by the letter “V” in the marking of primary packages. See Clauses 10 and 11. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHIN
