STERILE PARAFILM

Sterile Parafilm

Ideal for protecting samples and preventing contamination or evaporation. Perfect for cleanroom environments and strict sanitation protocols.

These pre-cut strips are sterilized using a Vapor Hydrogen Peroxide process, adding an extra layer of protection to Parafilm’s natural waterproof and moisture-resistant properties.

Parafilm is a flexible, semi-transparent thermoplastic film designed for reliable sealing in laboratory, medical, and industrial environments. Engineered from a unique blend of waxes and polyolefins, Parafilm stretches up to 200% of its original size, conforming tightly to irregular surfaces such as test tubes, beakers, petri dishes, and flasks. Each strip comes individually packaged in a sealed, lot-traceable pouch featuring a color sterilization indicator, ensuring both safety and convenience.

Features and Benefits

• Available in 2 pre-cut sizes
• Packaged and Sterilized in USA
• Sterile Expiration: 2 years
• Non-toxic, odorless, and semi-transparent
• Creates a tight moisture barrier that holds a strong seal and doesn’t release from glassware
• Prevents moisture and volume loss due to material composition and tight seal
• The flexible and self-sealing material allows it to cling around irregular shapes and surfaces
• Resistant up to 48 hours against saline solutions, inorganic acids, and alkaline solutions

Ideal for use in these sterile workflows:

1. Tissue culture work (plant, animal, or microbial)
• To seal culture plates, flasks, or test tubes after inoculation
2. Microbiology and cell biology labs
• To prevent contamination of sterile samples or media
3. Inside biosafety cabinets / laminar flow hoods
• Parafilm can be disinfected (usually with 70% ethanol) and brought inside for aseptic sealing
4. When transporting sterilized containers
• To maintain sterility after autoclaving or filter sterilization
