An application of Parafilm M is to make paper-based microfluidic devices.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.rsc.org/chipsandtips/2012/04/10/simple-and-rapid-fabrication-of-paper-microfluidic-devices-utilizing-parafilm%C2%AE/|title=Simple and rapid fabrication of paper microfluidic devices utilizing Parafilm® « Chips and Tips|work=rsc.org}}</ref> Paper-based microfluidic devices are considered a suitable way to fabricate low-cost point-of-care diagnostics for developing countries and areas where expensive medical instrumentation is not accessible.
Digital microfluidic devices can also use it as the electrode insulator and hydrophobic layer <ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.rsc.org/chipsandtips/2010/07/06/a-two-for-one-dielectric-and-hydrophobic-layer-for-digital-microfluidics/|title=A two-for-one dielectric and hydrophobic layer for digital microfluidics « Chips and Tips|work=rsc.org}}</ref>
