Lab Safety
Work Environment
We arranged a room on the campus KU Leuven near the UZ Hospital Gasthuisberg, which is close to the lab. Despite it being a small room, we make sure that there is always plenty of food and drinks for us.
General Safety
Every member of the iGEM KU Leuven Team 2017 received an introduction to lab safety at the beginning of July. Some general rules include:
- • No eating and drinking in the lab
- • Wearing lab coats in cell culture lab, rubber gloves and safety goggles when needed
- • Use the assigned lab coats when entering the bacterial culture lab
- • Cleaning after work with 70% ethanol and autoclaving glasses
- • Washing hands before leaving the lab
