Overview

This grafting tape is a reliable, breathable sealing solution designed for sterile mycology work. Made from flexible, self-adhesive polyethylene film, it provides excellent protection against airborne contaminants while allowing essential gas exchange for healthy mycelial growth.

FAQs

What is grafting tape, and why use it for agar plates?

Grafting tape is a flexible, stretchable film originally made for plant grafting. In mycology, it’s ideal for sealing agar plates because it allows limited gas exchange while protecting against contamination.

How does this grafting tape compare to Parafilm?

Grafting tape works similarly to Parafilm but is often more affordable and easier to handle. It clings well to plastic or glass plates, maintains a tight seal, and can be torn by hand — no need for scissors.

Is this grafting tape breathable?

Yes — it allows minimal gas exchange, helping cultures develop properly without trapping excess moisture or creating anaerobic conditions.

Can this grafting tape be reused?

No — always use a fresh piece. Reusing tape risks introducing contaminants and weakens the seal.

How do I apply grafting tape to agar plates?

Stretch a strip slightly and wrap it around the plate seam once or twice for a snug, even seal. Avoid over-stretching — the tape should stay flexible, not tight like cling film.
