Petri dish/parafilm question
    #26583842 - 04/07/20 11:53 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Hello, so I've been using Pastyplate no pour agar dishes for a while and have some plastic petri dishes prepped with MEA that I'm wanting to try out.

Question: can I wrap micropore tape around the petri dishes in place of parafilm and is there a disadvantage to doing this?

Would I be better off using nothing since it'll only be for a few days until I can transfer to a new dish?

Hey bud, I'm new to the agar game but here's my 2cents till someone more knowledgeable chimes in.

I'd say just use saran or cling wrap to wrap em up till you use them. It'll be that much less of a chance for contams imo.

Disadvantage of using micropore or parafilm is wasting it imo.

Bod says he only uses saran wrap so I think it should be fine

Micropore works while you're watching it grow. Once you have to unwrap/rewrap it you see why it sucks.

Use the knife and cut a small roll from your saran wrap. It's the best thing ever

I like Parafilm myself but micropore tape would work if thats all you got. Its gonna be a pain in the ass later on. Id rather do saran than micropore tape, like other people said. Itll be easier to get off later on. You want somethin easy to remove.

Awesome, thank you everyone. I only made a few that will be used soon so I plan to use micropore tape while they have myc inside and saran wrap for the ones I'm storing for a bit.

Thanks again!

I agree, ziplock baggies are the easiest.
