Safety in iGEM
Safe Lab Work
All work for this project was done in Cooper Union’s Kanbar Laboratory. This lab is classified as biosafety level 1. Either a professor or a lab technician was present at all times while we were in the lab. Standard lab safety practices were followed during all protocols. The lab was separated into a wetware space and a hardware space to prevent contamination. While working in the wetware space, nitrile or latex gloves were worn at all times. Biological wastes were disposed of in proper containers.
