Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the main benefits of using Parafilm M?
Parafilm M is highly stretchable, moldable, and moisture-resistant, making it ideal for creating airtight seals on irregularly shaped laboratory vessels to prevent sample evaporation or contamination.
2. Are LLG Flat Bags suitable for liquids?
Standard PE flat bags like those from LLG are primarily designed for dry samples or secondary containment; for direct liquid storage, specialized leak-proof bags or PFA bottles are recommended.
3. What does the thickness (e.g., 0.10mm) indicate for PE bags?
Thickness indicates the durability and puncture resistance of the bag; a 0.10mm bag is significantly stronger than standard thin-gauge bags and is suitable for heavier or sharper samples.
4. Can Parafilm M be used in high-temperature applications?
Parafilm M is a thermoplastic material and will soften or melt at high temperatures; it is best suited for room temperature or refrigerated storage.
