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

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
    • Our chasssis organism is E coli strain Dh5-alpha
  • 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
    • We have two switches, a QS dependent AND gate and an anaerobic promoter.

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!

We work in a BSL2 Lab. In order to ensure no leak of bacteria, proper sterile technique is practiced and all bacterial work in done in a Biosafety Cabinet. Liquid Biohazard waste is deactivated using Presept Tablets (bleach) and solid biohazard waste is incinerated

Safe Shipment

Did you face any safety problems in sending your DNA parts to the Registry? How did you solve those problems?
