Abdos Waterproof Self-sealing Parafilm M

Abdos Waterproof Self-sealing Parafilm M is a widely used laboratory film made from a unique blend of waxes and polyolefins. It is known for its versatility, flexibility, and ability to create a strong, waterproof, and airtight seal. Parafilm is commonly used in laboratories for various applications, including:

1. Sealing Containers: Parafilm is used to seal the openings of test tubes, vials, beakers, flasks, and other laboratory containers to prevent evaporation, contamination, or spillage of contents.

2. Wrapping Laboratory Equipment: It can be wrapped around the joints or openings of laboratory equipment to create a barrier against moisture and contaminants, helping to maintain the integrity of experiments and samples.

3. Microbiology Applications: Parafilm is often used in microbiology laboratories to seal petri dishes, culture plates, and other microbiological containers, providing a sterile environment for microbial growth and experimentation.

4. Cryopreservation: Parafilm is used in cryogenic applications to seal cryovials and cryoboxes, protecting samples stored at ultra-low temperatures from frost and moisture.

5. Electrophoresis: In gel electrophoresis experiments, Parafilm is used to seal the electrophoresis chamber, preventing buffer evaporation and maintaining consistent experimental conditions.

Parafilm is available in rolls or sheets of various widths and lengths, allowing users to cut pieces to the desired size for their specific application. It is an essential consumable in many laboratories due to its ease of use, effectiveness, and versatility in creating seals and barriers for a wide range of laboratory experiments and procedures.
