Key uses of Parafilm in a laboratory setting:
Sealing Labware: Parafilm® M creates a tight moisture barrier and strong seal on test tubes, beakers, vials, petri dishes, and flasks, preventing evaporation and contamination.
Protecting Samples: It is used to protect biological samples and chemical solutions from moisture loss, contamination, and degradation during storage or incubation in various conditions, including refrigerators and incubators.
Securing Lids and Caps: Parafilm® M can be used to further secure lids and caps on bottles and vials, reducing the risk of leaks and spills.
Preventing Contamination: It can be wrapped around pipettes, tubing, and other lab equipment to prevent cross-contamination.
Covering Weighing Balances and Instruments: It can be used to protect delicate lab instruments from dust and chemical residues.
General Lab Applications: Parafilm® M is also used for tasks like over-wrapping stoppers and caps for extra security, and as a shelf or tray liner to prevent slipping of bottles or instruments.
Specific Applications: It has been used to create membranes for feeding hematophagous insects and in the fabrication of paper-based microfluidic devices. It is also used by florists for stem wrapping and horticulturalists for grafting.
