Team:AFCM-Egypt/Safety

Safety:

Safety is the pillar on which our work stands.

Integrating safety into our lab environment did evidently
facilitate the lab procedures
for us and helped us ensure the well-being of all our team members.
Here are some of the points that were integrated into our safety rules.

Lab Safety:

 While being in the lab, we followed standard lab safety rules to prevent
contamination or injuries.

-Wearing gloves and lab coats.

-Disinfecting the lab before starting every time.

-Following chemical safety protocols.

-Maintaining a well-organized schedule

-Keeping food and drink out of the lab

-Recording work in the lab.

Work Safety:

All our used parts and competent cell were within the risk group 1 as set by the IGEM safety
committee. We worked with Escherichia coli strains NEB 5-alpha Competent E.coli K-12.
The CircRNA hsa-circ-000064 and target gene were chosen from bioinformatics databases
which met the criteria of the hypothesis of our project.
