[0002] A petri dish is a laboratory dish used for microbial or cell culture. It consists of a flat disc-shaped bottom and a cover, and is generally made of glass or plastic. There are basically two types of petri dishes, mainly plastic and glass. Glass can be used for plant materials, microbial culture, and adherent culture of animal cells.

[0026] The top outer surface of the thermostatic box 1 is penetrated by a first infusion tube 17, a second infusion tube 18 and a third infusion tube 19, and the inner wall of the thermostatic box 1 is fixedly connected with three electric telescopic rods 15, and the output ends of the three electric telescopic rods 15 are fixedly connected with a clamping piece 16; in this embodiment, by arranging the electric telescopic rod 15, the first infusion tube 17, the second infusion tube 18 and the third infusion tube 19, the culture dish 11 in the thermostatic box 1 can be subjected to experimental operations in a sterile environment, thereby preventing the internal environment of the culture dish 11 from being contaminated by bacteria in the air.
