How to Use Parafilm with Agar Plates

Ғылым және технология

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

    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!

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