Safety
When working with any living material in lab, proper safety is unquestionably one of the most important concerns. Our lab comes with several features to keep us safe when working with our samples.
Our team always makes sure to wear protective attire in lab. We always wear shirts that cover our shoulders and stomachs, as well as pants and close-toed shoes. When we are in the lab, we tie our hair back and wear lab coats and gloves to protect ourselves. When entering and before leaving the lab, we wash our hands thoroughly to minimize the possibility of contamination.
Please visit the Safety Hub to find this year's safety requirements & deadlines, and to learn about safe & responsible research in iGEM.
On this page of your wiki, you should write about how you are addressing any safety issues in your project. The wiki is a place where you can go beyond the questions on the safety forms, and write about whatever safety topics are most interesting in your project. (You do not need to copy your safety forms onto this wiki page.)
Safe Project Design
Does your project include any safety features? Have you made certain decisions about the design to reduce risks? Write about them here! For example:
- Choosing a non-pathogenic chassis
- Choosing parts that will not harm humans / animals / plants
- Substituting safer materials for dangerous materials in a proof-of-concept experiment
- Including an "induced lethality" or "kill-switch" device
Safe Lab Work
What safety procedures do you use every day in the lab? Did you perform any unusual experiments, or face any unusual safety issues? Write about them here!
Safe Shipment
Did you face any safety problems in sending your DNA parts to the Registry? How did you solve those problems?
