Receptacle for producing cultures in the laboratory (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

petri dish

(Other definitions for petri dish that I've seen before include "Shallow bowl used to culture bacteria -- priest hid (anag)" , "Shallow plate for lab study" , "Type of plate used for culturing bacteria etc" , "Container for growing cultures" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
