Dear Stamatis,

We also use these dishes but order directly from Sarstedt (http://www.sarstedt.com/). They are still available in their catalogue as a current product so my guess would be that it actually Sigma that has decided to stop distributing them and not that the product is no longer manufactured.

If you do need to get another source I've heard that Coylab (www.coylab.com<http://www.coylab.com>) make a similar range of gas permeable dishes and plates although I have not yet used any of there products so I can't comment on how well they function.

Good luck,

Brad

Hello everyone

we are looking for petri dishes with a gas-permeable base for O2/CO2 exchange.

The ones we knew about were these
Greiner Lumox culture dish hydrophilic (50 mm) (Sigma, cat. no. Z376744) (formerly known as petriperm plates)
http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/sigma/z376744?lang=en&region=GR

but apparently they have been discontinued.

Any hints on where we could find something similar would be greatly appreciated.

thank you
