Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of microbial detection, in particular to a culture dish transfer device. Background Art

[0002] The detection process of microorganisms usually includes culturing microorganisms in a culture dish, counting or qualitatively testing the microorganisms cultured in the culture dish. Before adding samples to the culture dish, the lid of the culture dish needs to be opened to add samples, and then the lid is closed.
