Safety


Lab Safety

All ASU team members were trained through EH&S courses in Lab Safety, Hazardous Waste Management, Fire Safety, Biological and Bloodborne Pathogens, Gas Cylinders, and Recombinant DNA. These course provided a comprehensive overview of lab safety. In addition, all lab members completed a "cloning bootcamp," in which basic cloning knowledge was assessed before moving on to other tasks. The details for the bootcamp can be found the main Safety page here .

The research in this lab was all completed under Standard Operating Procedures. This research was all under the accord of ASU's Biological Safety Manual, found here .

Please visit the main Safety page 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?
