Why Choose Parafilm?
Parafilm is an indispensable tool in any microbiology laboratory. It serves the crucial role of sealing culture plates and tubes, safeguarding cultures from contamination by external microorganisms while allowing for gas exchange. Additionally, Parafilm serves as an effective barrier against evaporation and spillage.

Parafilm excels in various applications, including:
- Sealing Petri dishes
- Enveloping beakers
