use micropore tape instead of parafilm for petri dishes?
    #20261740 - 07/12/14 06:45 AM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Hey guys,

Would it be possible to substitute parafilm with micropore tape to seal petri dishes, without getting a contamination?

Yes, but you'll regret it later when you try to get it off.  Order a roll of parafilm.

I have used scotch tape in a pinch. Normally I buy a roll of plastic wrap, cut it into like 10 sections or individual "rolls" and don't buy any more for 278859937746 years.

Saran wrap will work (I wrap my uninoculated dishes in it) but Parafilm is really where it's at. Get a big roll of Parafilm M for $20 or so and you'll be set for several cases of petris.
