Needed good, sterile dishes in a pinch so I resorted to Amazon. The first batch I ordered came advertised as sterile, however they arrived in a perforated sleeve, thus, non-sterile. Another batch arrived with damaged sleeves, thus, non-sterile. Took another chance on these, and they arrived fully intact and in a sturdy plastic sleeve, free of any damage.
The dishes are good quality, sterile, and served their purpose.
To address some of the negative reviews... Some people complained about the size; 60x15mm is clearly shown in the description. Some people complained that the lids are oversized and don't "snap" into place. What? Petri dishes lids are traditionally held on by gravity, and have a slightly tapered lid to make working with them easier. Some people complained that they weren't individually packaged; yet petri dishes are always sold in sleeves at a quantity of 10-25 per sleeve, and rarely, if ever individually packaged. Some people complained that they were made of thin plastic; yet I found these to be fairly sturdy for your run-of-the-mill dishes. Disposable petri dishes are always going to be thin plastic, and not designed to be heavy duty.
Well, I think that about covers it. If you're going to use these dishes for their true use, as in, sciency stuff - then they will work out just fine for you. They're a bit overpriced compared to most disposable dishes, however it's to be expected to pay a premium to have a low quantity of quality dishes quickly delivered to your door.
If you plan in using them for some kind of storage or other unconventional use, then perhaps you should take heed and note my explanation above.

I bought these for the game Pandemic.
I was on the search for these after seeing Wil Wheaton use them in his game of Pandemic. It seemed so convenient and pretty much perfect with the game theme. I saw another reviewer say these were perfect for Pandemic so I bough them immediately. The size is perfect, yet too small at the same time. I say perfect because they fit all the cubes and fit in the box. I say too small because they are so small that getting pieces out can be a pain when the petri dish is on the full side. NOT enough to deter me from wanting these by any means. Also, be careful if you plan on toting your game around places; petri dishes are not what you would call "tight fitting"... or anything close to that. The lids are an extremely loose fit.Also, not that I have much experience with petri dishes for scientific purposes. but I doubt these are sterile in any way. The bag I received was definitely beat up in some places.I'll upload pics so you can get an idea of the size if you want them for Pandemic.
