Q:  How can laboratories reduce the risk of tampered data through a protective film covering?

Accurate, trustworthy results define what successful laboratories do. This means safeguarding sample integrity has never been more critical. Minor exposure, evaporation, or contamination from inconsistent test tube, beaker, and petri dish coverings can compromise data quality, leading to rework, delays, and potential compliance risks. Unfortunately, many labs are transitioning to cheaper knockoffs that do not perform the same and cannot provide consistent protection.

A:  Flexible, self-sealing laboratory film provides simple, reliable protection that reduces the risk of tampered data.

That’s why year after year, decade after decade, scientists all over the world reach for Parafilm® M for quality, consistency, and integrity. Parafilm® M all-purpose laboratory film provides a reliable, versatile solution for sealing irregular shapes and surfaces. Its self-sealing properties create a tight barrier that minimizes evaporation and contamination to help preserve sample integrity and data reliability.
