Safe Lab work

Researcher Safety in Everyday lab

Each undergraduate experiment is completed in the synthetic biology labs of Department of Biotechnology in National Chiao Tung University. The labs strictly follow all the institutional, local, and federal regulations. Prior to working in the standard level 1 facilities, all members are required to attend mandatory experimental and laboratory safety training, which provides a general understanding of primary and secondary barriers in the lab. All access of non-members is restricted by the usage of IC card. The laboratory head of biosafety is BoBo (balderdash034@gmail.com).

Biosafety Level 1 (Lowest Level)

Safe Agents
  • Present minimum potential danger to laboratory workers and environment
  • Rarely cause ailment in immunocompetent adults
Safe Lab
  • Bench tops are waterproof and are resistant to moderate heat, organic solvents, acids, alkalis, and chemicals
  • Special containment equipment: biological safety cabinet and laminar flow cabinets are used
  • Not typically secluded from general building
  • Passed the Yearly Laboratory Inspection
Trained Lab Personnel
  • Given training on specific procedures
  • Signed a commitment form to comply with the regulations
  • Not typically secluded from general building
  • Supervised by a trained microbiologist and several advisors
Implemented Standard Microbiology Practices
  • Mechanical pipetting (not mouth pipetting)
  • Safe sharps handling procedure is given
  • Avoidance of splashes or aerosols
  • Decontamination
    • Work surfaces when experiment is complete and regularly
    • Spills (Immediately)
    • Infectious materials before disposal (autoclaving)
  • Personal hygiene
    • Work surfaces when experiment is complete and regularly
    • Spills (Immediately)
    • Infectious materials before disposal (autoclaving)
