We recently got a comment that while we had gotten our culture game down well, but needed to up our parafilm game. They were right. Parafilm is great for sealing agar dishes, but it can be a pain to deal with. We’ve since learned a better way to wrap our dishes, and it makes it much more simple.

Yeah, i picked up that tip last year...another one is parafilm is more stretchy when in warmer climates/weather otherwise it breaks and has less stretch when cold. It's a good tip...as its easier to see the plate too.

i just started using this tek also, definitely prefer it over the old style (i used to do the same as u). only difference is i use 2" wide. it might be a waste but we'll see over time if i should stick with 2" width, or goto 1" like u use.

I only use parafilm on master slants and master petri dishes. Other wise i use cling wrap. Take a roll and cut it into 1 inch rolls and use it as such and only on petris that i will be using once they are fully colonized. Saves on parafilm, way cheaper and works the same. Then i dont have to fight with getting the paper off the parafilm. Either way works, just something else to try if your just getting into the game.

That's not a bad idea. I've heard of some people using a heat shrink for it. Gives me ideas.

I dont think the one i have is long enough. I think that the emptying holes and the filling holes should be 1 distance apart from one another.

I've been doing that for years, but I don't fold it in half, I leave a bit of overhang so I can get a little bit to wrap around the top and bottom of the dish.
@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial
@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial 3 года назад
I'm not sure what you mean that you have been doing it? I was saying that folding the parafilm makes it easier to work with.
@paul.phillips
@paul.phillips 3 года назад
@@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial Yes, I fold it much like you do, but I don't fold it directly in half. I fold it so that it's a little wider than half because I like a little overhang above and below the plate. It is easier to work with and it's a good tip, I just have a slight variation. ;)

What are the guarantees there are no contams on the parafilm itself? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one lol
@viktormorris194
@viktormorris194 3 года назад
It's not "sterile" but probably 99% more sterile than the air around, unless plates incubate in front of a flowhood. Also prevents plates drying out
