Safety in iGEM

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

  • We choose the pHSE400 as the chassis because it is non-pathogenic
  • Our experimental material is arabidopsis thaliana so it is absolutely safe
  • While we proceed gel-electrophoresis, we use ethidium bromide. In order to prevent us from the ethidium bromide, we wear plastic gloves.What's more, we wear surgical masks and latex gloves when we handle the bacteria
  • What we have to pay attention to is that we should carefully deal with the seed to prevent the gene dispersal.Make sure the resistant gene won't get into the weeds.

    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?
