  • Apparatus for filling petri dishes
    Patent number: 4468914
    Abstract: Spaced apart and covered Petri dishes are moved continuously toward a pair of spaced feed nozzles while the covers engage a ramp and are tilted upward away from the dishes to provide a space for reception of the feed nozzles. A photoelectric cell detects the passage of the dishes beneath the feed nozzles and controls the feeding of bacterial culture growth medium alternately from the nozzles into the dishes as the latter move continuously past the nozzles. The covers are replaced over the dishes after filling.
