Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Rack For Holding A Plurality Of Petri-Dishes And Transport Packaging With The Rack", for Approval (USPTO 20230285978).

The transport packaging (20) according to claim 9, further comprising a plurality of petri-dishes (P) accommodated in the slots (12) of the rack (1). While this cassette arrangement provides for a safe transport of the petri-dish held in the interior space of the cassette housing, it is not useful for automated handling as it is specifically directed to a manual operation by a finger in order to at least release the petri-dish from the housing.
