Safety

BSL-1 Organisms

  • Stony Brook iGEM worked with E. coli and S. cerevisiae
  • We complied with BSL-1 guidelines and wore the required PPE around the lab when handling those organisms
    1. Nitrile glvoes
    2. Gloves were changed after working with said organisms to prevent cross contamination
    3. No organisms were brought out of the lab at any time

Handling of chemicals

  • All chemicals, such as Ethidium Bromide and Glacial Acetic Acid were kept in specified areas and were carried in secondary containers as well to minimize risk of spilling

Non-Pathogenic Parts

  • Constructs ordered from IDT or otherwise synthesized were made from coding sequences that code for non-pathogenic or infectious molecules
