Parafilm M vs. Parafilm Grafting Tape
    #19052762 - 10/29/13 04:28 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

So my local lab shops are out of parafilm. I've seen Parafilm Grafting Tape around. Have any of you tried it? the website assures me it's almost identical, the only difference being that it is not as adhesive. Has anyone tried it for sealing agar plates? Would love to hear your experiences...

I have used it to do bud grafts. It seems quite a bit stiffer to me but no reason why it wouldn't work in a pinch. Better than nothing for sure.

I used the grafting tape to do all of my plates until very recently. It works well.  About two weeks ago is actually the first time using the other kind of parafilm and am still getting used to it as it is far more stretchy. But from what I can tell they are essentially the same once wrapped.

I like the grafting tape better actually. Works great, and it covers just the sides so you can still see all of your agar surface clearly.
