How to Use Parafilm with Agar Plates
Ғылым және технология
If you've never used Parafilm to seal an agar plate, chances are that you'll use too much of it. Here Dan shows how just a small strip of Parafilm is enough, and how you don't literally "wrap" the entire plate.

Really helpful. :D BTW, reason to use Parafilm is because it can exchange air but prevents contamination.

Thank you! I was wondering why we were using it to begin with.

isn't that what the 3m micropore is for? I thought micropore =/= parafilm?

Thank you man! Very useful.
Thank you! You saved me a ton of parafilm, very helpful
THANKS!!!!!! I'm in Microbiology and just finished an experiment but had no idea on how to use that paper!
Thanks for the tip.
Thank you so much, really helpful our teacher never explains anything and this is so helpful
Thanks. Just what I was looking for. Don’t hold the Petri dish too tightly, they crack easily.
Thank you!
Hi, Just discovered it and will buy & use it. Hope that it will stop contaminations in my flasks. Daniel
Tq so much its helping me a lot thank you
Thanks so much for this. I need to seal mine for Bio II today and the lab instructions didn't tell us how to use the film.
Thank you 🙏

Awesome :) Thanks :)!!!
Thank you. Seems really easy
Great for shipping spirits. 👏👏
Can you use glad cling wrap instead? Does it breathe? I have read of many people saying you can use it.
There is a sealing film cutter that can be used without scissors
how did he get paper off so easy ? I dread those . especially with gloves
Thank you so much. I wasted so much parafilm, i thought you would need a big piece xD
Tnaksss :D
Ha!!! It's the little things in life that sometimes matter the most!!! Thanks!!!! This was in my at home Bio Kit and I had not a clue what to do with it!
Ohhhhhhhh that looks smooth. So glad I picked some up. Horticultural grafting tape is much cheaper and made using a fairly sterile process

I have both. I like parafilm better because it stretches

I do not see a sterile process ! The tape is already contaminated with ambient contaminants, So how to apply perfectly sterile ? Perfectly sterile. because the tape is not sterile as we can see. I need an idea!
Hi ad, can we use the parafilm M for wrapping a erlen glass (contains culture medium inside) and then autoclave?

Nope. Melts at 60 Celsius
Hey thanks ! Just like Heather Acosta, my teacher didn't tell us anything.
But how can you sterilize the parafilm?
I do this and the shit cracks a few days later.

If you have cracking you can take more and stretch it over 2 to 3 times around.

Same! And it sticks to the plates above and below in a stack and then rips when you take them apart. So frustrating! Any tips?

This stuff is very expensive. In our lab we use a thin electrical tape and it works perfectly.
