Safety

All members

All of our team members have basic experimental operation exercises and have a basic understanding of the experiment. In addition, all team members attended experimental safety lectures held by our school, we all have certain concepts for laboratory safety.

Wet Lab

In the biological experiment part, the methanolic yeast and Escherichia coli were used, and the experimental contents were all in the first level of Biosafety Level l lab. The operation sites were all in the aseptic operation table, and the personnel were in the experiment. Gloves were worn during the period and equipment were all disinfected with alcohol before and after the experiment.

Dry Lab

In the dry experimental group, we conducted experiments that adhered to laboratory safety rules (such as wearing gloves, using volatile drugs in the draft cabinet, etc.) and having relevant professional guidance. Before using the instrument, the yeast will be filtered out in the laboratory to prevent the yeast from leaving the laboratory. All reactions in the design of the future production line will be carry out in the fermentation tank. Keep the reaction environment in a sealed state, then filtering out the polymer. By two protective measures, filter and heat, we can prevent any leakage. For the filter, we will be using a 33kDa filter, the yeast will not pass. As for the heater, all products will be heated 110 ° C for 10 minutes.
