Safety in the lab
One of the biggest risks in laboratory work is misuse or the wrong use of equipment or chemicals. To ensure proper usage Safety Instructions were mandatory for everyone to enable every team members to work autonomously. Everyone had to comply with the lab guidelines at every time. All work (except Chlamy transformation and fluorescence microscopy which were carried out in the laboratory of Prof. Hegemann or the Plant Physiology group respectively) was conducted in the laboratory of Prof. Schmitz-Linneweber. All contamination prone experiments were either done at the clean bench or close to a burner. Every set of tests was performed according to previous consultation of our Pi or lab employees. The organisms used (E. coli and C. reinhardtii) are both classified as S1 organisms - the lowest risk group. More information regarding our lab safety can be found in our iGEM Safety Form.
