Lab Safety
Common sense
When working in a laboratory of any sort, it is crucial to live up to the safety protocols that are applied. This involves working in an aseptic environment, proper handling of chemicals, understanding of the use of equipment and common sense. We had the opportunity to work in a class 1 laboratory with gene modified organisms. All SDU iGEM members were handed out a document explaining the safety masseurs when working with gene technology. This document had to be read and fully understood before signing to these agreements. This document described, among other things, how to handle GMO's and the waste it involves. Cell- and medie waste of gen modified material is treated with Vikon or autoclaved and from there handled as biohazard.
