pyrex vista petri dishes i got screwed!!!!!!
    #9445876 - 12/16/08 07:37 PM (15 years, 2 months ago)

i didn't know where to put this but i think this is close enough.

I was researching test tubes and found pyrex vista, turns out its made from the same glass as pyrex but just thinner i think.  anyways i bought some and i love them.  then i started researching petri dishes, and found myself again leaning towards pyrex vista, since i had such a lovely experience last time i went out and bought quite a few of them.  i also checked all the details on pyrex's site and it all matched up.  so i made the purchase


so then the product comes and im so freaking pissed off they sent me soda lime corning dishes!!! they do NOT say pyrex vista on them like in the picture, instead they say corning brand in WHITE.  WTF  my first thought is they are trying to take advantage of me trying to slip inferior dishes to me.

i check the website where i purchased from and the boxes they sent me.  in the details they list the dishes as pyrex VISTA with a code of "70160",  my boxes say "70165"  so right away i know they sent me the wrong stuff.  so then i visit pyrex and the entire site is redesigned and they no longer show the specs of hardly anything!!!

i can't find either of these dishes on there site, but i know what i remember, and i have a feeling im going to be out over $100 for dishes that should have cost half that, i only paid that much because i knew i was getting pyrex....

has anyone else been researching pyrex vista to back me up, or have any websites that say pyrex vista is indeed borosilica or w/e glass?  or any other help?

anyways at the least this post can serve as a warning to those looking to purchase these dishes.

Thanks for the tip.  I can't help ya because I despise glass petri dishes and gave all mine away(that I didn't break first) years ago.  I had both pyrex and corning, and to the best of my memory, they were similar.  However, I prefer plastic dishes by far.

Hi: It would be nice to know the name of the company you made your purchase from. There are a number of sites on line that sell boro-silicate glass (Pyrex) lab ware made in Italy and other places that's sold as student lab ware that’s just like genuine Pyrex but the thickness is thinner like you described for the Pyrex Vista. Corning may have tried selling a line of lower cost Pyrex lab ware to compete as Pyrex Vista and may have discontinued it?

I like glass Petri dish because I only make up about five plates at a time (when I make a L. of medium I break it down into four long neck vinegar bottles, hot pack, cool and freeze tell needed.) and a package would become contaminated before I could use them. Besides all I need is for one of the F-ing neighbor kids to fish a used disposable dish out of my trash. I'm just getting the authorities to stop snooping around my property very time they have a dare class at the local schools and the neighbor brat turns me in because of the hydroponic garden I have in my back yard for my grandchildren to use as a science project.  Hipster

Plastic are cheaper, lighter, stackable, don't slip as easily and if I recall RR uses the 3-section ones which are very nice for doing isolation, as you use 1/3 as many.

Makaveli, if you used a credit card, call the company (visa or whomever) and cancel payment. Then the vendor will contact you.

Stupid DARE.  My kids weren't the least bit interested in drugs until that program came to their school in the early 90s.  Within six weeks, both of my boys were in trouble.  The next year, they got my daughter and within a few months, she was strung out on heroin.  Somebody needs to nuke that stupid program.  It glorifies abuse and makes kids want to get into the hard drugs.

I noticed that as well, it seemed like they would have 'cool kids' doing hard drugs and all the kids that nobody wanted to be like turning them in or trying to get them to stop. That program is a joke.

they tried to tell me over the phone that they only purchase one kind of corning petri dish(so why does the picture have vista petris...), and they are telling me these corning soda limes are the same as the vista one, they went on to say that pyrex must have forgot to print the labels right....or something very stupid to that effect.

anyways if you check your site you will see the picture and how they labeled it as 70160, which in all web returns should land you onto vista dishes, not soda lime cornings (70165's).  im really set on pyrex, especially these lighter vista versions, i hope i can get this all fixed somehow.  but the way these guys talk over the phone isn't really giving me any high hopes, they sound like scam artists telling me the company printed the wrong labels on the dishes lol

I have formal training in chemistry, and certain brands of pyrex/kimax petri dishes are better than others. About 5 years ago I had a chance to get 2 cases of my most favorite corning brand pyrex petri dishes and I enjoy them very much.

I don't want to anger the forum gods, but I have some left over I want to trade for spre prints. just check out my user gallery for pics.


--------------------
I wanna trade!:mushroom2:

I have pyrex petri dishes and empty/blank sterile syringes

I want spore prints please

Just PM me! :grin:

If you paid via credit card... Talk to your bank, and get them to reverse the charge...

After calling the (new) company of course.

Not to threadjack the OP but I had to comment on this when I saw it - the US Surgeon General is aware that D.A.R.E. is a pile of shit, and yet other branches of government with far less medical expertise continue to force feed it to our kids.

Interesting read, see 2nd para.
