Can anyone tell me the benefit of using parafilm over tape/clingwrap in the lab?
Not sure if its just a meme or there's something more to it. Seems like even cling wrap would be better.
- gear_envy 4y agoParafilm is basically an on-demand wax seal. No moisture gets in or out and it’s not sticky or clingy in the way tape and plastic wrap can be. It’s also reasonably stretchy so you can fit it over irregularly shaped openings if needed. Kimwipes, on the other hand, are a common lab product I’ve never really understood. Seems like glorified lint-free tissue paper to me.
