culture trays

Culture trays are shallow, flat containers used in laboratories to grow and study microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. They provide a controlled environment where cultures can be kept in specific nutrients and conditions to observe growth, behavior, or reactions. Often made of plastic or glass, culture trays facilitate easy handling, observation, and comparison of different samples simultaneously. They are essential tools in microbiology research, medical diagnostics, and quality control, helping scientists identify pathogens or test the effects of antibiotics in a safe, efficient, and organized manner.
