Safety Procedures
- Starting from the left, we always used nitrile gloves that protect us and prevent contamination of chemicals. Any lab materials were disposed of properly through decontamination procedures or hazardous waste disposal.
- Tacoma_RAINmakers also followed the strict rule to not eat and drink in the lab. Food were always left behind on the shelf in front of the lab, and we followed this practice to accidental ingestion of chemicals.
- Tacoma_RAINmakers wore labcoats when they were wearing shorts. This protected us against accidental chemical spills.
- One of our subteam leaders, Keshava, taught our current team members about how to run lab equipment. He had participated iGem in previous year, so he was a great resource to learn about the safety features of lab tools!
Safe Lab Work
The most significant hazard in the RAINmaker project would be the use of chemicals containing arsenic.
