SAFETY
Our team is actively working in the lab. Every time we do an experiment, we will check each other's experimental notes and what we are going to prepare today. In the experiment, we will help each other with experimental equipment and experimental notes. I remember once, when we were adjusting the medium, another bottle of medium was a bit problematic, and our team patiently waited in front of the medium. On another occasion, the purified water used in the laboratory was used up. Several boys in our team went to the first floor to fill the water tank. Unfortunately, when I went to the lab, the water tank broke and nearly a few liters of water flowed out. Our team and the mentor had organized drainage, even though many people’s shoes were wet and many people’s clothes were dirty. . I think this team is very cooperative.
Host cell safety：
Recipient cells are also called host cells. The recipient cells are prokaryotic receptor cells (mostly E. coli), eukaryotic receptor cells (mostly yeast), animal cells and insect cells (actually eukaryotic receptor cells). Among the prokaryotic receptor cells, the most commonly used host cell is Escherichia coli. When we transferred E. coli, we completed the experiment in an aseptic workstation. When cultivating E. coli, we added antibiotics to the culture medium and placed them in a sterile incubator.
Lab safety：
We use laboratories that require any entrant to wear gloves and protective clothing. When we use dangerous drugs, we have a mentor to supervise them. The culture cabinets and other equipment we use are sterile and can guarantee the safety of the reagents and the safety of the users. We were asked to wear high temperature gloves when working with warming agents. And we can't eat any food and drink any beverage in the lab. Finally, after the experiment, our used waste liquid and other waste reagents were thrown into the designated waste tank.
