Safety

Safety is very important while we use E. coli in our experiment and project. Our safety part included laboratary safety and safety of Detecoli.

Laboratory Safety

Every member of TCFSH_Taiwan has received many training courses offered by Environmental Protection and Safety Center before entering the laboratary. These courses included basic laboratory safety instruction, laboratory emergency response, toxic chemical operation, toxic chemical management and biological hazard. After taking the courses, we have to pass the exam in order to get in the laboratory.

Safety of Detecoli

The external plastic wrap offers the first layer of protection. Without considering the plastic container, the plastic bag is thick enough to withstand pulling or crushing to a reasonable degree. According to experiments, a 0.1 mm thick PE plastic is strong enough to bear a bag of coins in it dropping from 1 meter to floor for more than 10 times. Thus, under normal usage, the possibility for the e-coli to escape is extremely low. Also, even if the firm, thick plastic wrap were broken, we can legitimately infer that the terminating bubble inside will have been broken too, and thus will release the disinfectant.

Second, the antiseptic offers extra protection. The antiseptic we used is hydrogen peroxide, aka Hydrogen peroxide. According to the APIC (Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology), a mere 6% hydrogen peroxide is an effective disinfectant, and can kill most of the bacteria in 20 minutes. To help users confirm that they do crush the terminating bubble, we put black ink in the Hydrogen peroxide.

Third, the E. coli itself is a safeguard against hazard. Even if some tragedy happens and the E. coli leaks without being disinfected first, it’ll still die very soon due to the fact that we have transplant an alien gene in it, making it more vulnerable and easier to be killed when exposed to the outside environment. Also, the possibility for bacteria to mutate or transform is low enough to ignore.

These are the safety part of our project: Detecoli.
