Parafilm representation! I love that stuff. I totally, absolutely didn't used to completely mummify samples we sent away to the miserable dicks at our sister lab...

I love the stuff. There are so many tools I use that I'd love at home, parafilm is one of them. The other is a hot plate/magnetic stir bar I'd use for soup/cooking.

They are awful for cooking, believe me, I have a home lab.

Induction hobs are great for lab though, except for glass vessels, of course.

I just love the feeling of when it stretches.
