Phoenix Biomedical Products Inc.
Phoenix Biomedical was founded in 1980 expressly to manufacture
high-quality, sterile petri dishes. Today, Phoenix has become
the industry leader and the supplier of choice for major
distributors, diagnostic device manufacturers and research
institutions. We attribute our success to our commitment in
providing the health care and scientific communities with quality
and environmentally friendly petri dishes.
Our state-of-the-art plant in Mississauga, Ontario, with its
class '10-100' clean rooms, is considered the finest petri dish
facility in the world producing 200 million plates per year
sold in 50 countries. In the last 6 years alone, Phoenix
Biomedical has marketed over one billion plates produced in its
microbiologically controlled facility.
All Phoenix Biomedical petri dishes are made of crystal-clear,
virgin, high molecular medical grade polystyrene produced by an
ISO 900 certified company. All dishes are sterile and
particulate-free. Each lot undergoes a thorough testing
conducted by an independent microbiological testing laboratory
before sterility certificate is issued. The testing procedure
follows USP XXIII, the highest pharmaceutical sterility standard.
Phoenix Biomedical adheres strictly to all GMP requirements and
is FDA and ISO 9002-94 registered.
Product and packaging development plays major roles in our
business strategy. Of particular interest is the development
and marketing of STARDISH, an innovative, environmentally
friendly line of petri dish that is fast replacing the
inefficiently designed conventional dishes. The patented
technology incorporated in STARDISH allows a reduction of up to
35% in the amount of plastic used to manufacture each dish, thus
further reducing disposal waste and cost.
The 'Eco-pack' 600 dishes per case, versus the standard 500 per
case packaging configuration, allows 23% reduction in cardboard
and packaging materials thus offering an additional solution to
reduce medical packaging waste.
The STAR DISH is the only laboratory product that has been
awarded the 'ECO-LOGO' Environmental Seal of Approval; the most
prestigious award granted by the Canadian Government to
environmentally responsive products.

100x15mm Star Dish Nesting Alpine
100x15mm Star Dish Semi-nesting Alpine
Similar to the nesting ALPINE, this dish is most suitable to
use with high-speed media pouring equipment. The recession on
the lid has a smoother beveled angle for stacking stability and
the lid skirt is slightly longer.
The STAR DISH 'semi-nesting Alpine' is available with vents and
without vents and in 2 Sections.
100x15mm Star Dish 'full Size'
Has an exact dimension of 100mm in diameter and 15mm in
height, verus what is commonly known as 100x15mm nominal size
petri dish which is only about 92mm in diameter. This size
is ideal when a larger surface is required for culture and
for antibiotic`s sensitivity discs.
100x15mm Star Dish Sectional Dishes
For simultaneous differential studies of organisms or media
in a common environment. Over-all costs are reduced by
minimizing use of dishes, media and space. Individual
compartments are numbered for easy identification. Available in
2, 3 or 4 sections.
100x15mm Conventional Petri Dish
This standard size is easy to handle. The skirt of the lid is
slightly flared so that the lid can be removed and replaced
quickly with one hand when the bottom is streaked.
Squared-off top and bottom edges ensure a firm, secure grip
and even distribution of culture medium over the entire dish.
150x15mm Petri Dish
Ideal for antibiotic susceptibility testing, accommodates
2 to 3 membrane filters in a single dish. It is large enough
for bioburden determination and sterility testing of medical
devices. It is extremely flat and has markings for placing up to
6 strips of E-Test. Available in the STAR DISH style or
conventional design.
100x25mm Petri Dish
The STAR DISH 'High Profile' is specifically designed to
accommodate more media, excellent for mycology,
histology and pathology labs, as well as, seed germination work.
60x15mm Petri Dish
This dish saves space in refrigerators and incubators, and is
ideal when small quantities of media are used. It accommodates
single membrane filters for water and pharmaceutical testing.
40x12.5mm Petri Dish
One of the STAR DISH series, this is ideal when only a
very small sample is required; also suitable for use with
small filters and pharmaceutical analysis.
Contact Petri Dishes With Grid
Used for testing bioburden counts on working surfaces.
The domed surface, and exclusive media gripping tabs, help
the media to stick to the dish, reducing drop-off. A special
double ring around the outside of the dish helps prevent
fingers from touching the media, thus reducing the
possibilities of contamination. Available in 'Domed' and 'Flat'
bases.
Anaerobic Petri Dishes
Specially designed for anaerobic culturing. Moulded pocket
in plate base accommodates single CO2 generating tablet
and retains tablet residue. Pocket vents permits CO2 to
flow within closed chamber even if the chamber is inverted.
Plate may be opened or closed using one hand, leaving other
hand free to inoculate. Available in rectangular and round pill
pockets.
