SAFETY IN A LAB
The safety in laboratory is essential part of every biological project, especially when genetically modified organisms are involved.
Our team works with two non-pathogenic strains of E.coli – DH5α and TOP10 - that appertain to Risk group 1 and do not cause health problems. The safety level of our lab is 1 (low risk) and we use open benches and biosafety cabinets as work areas for the biological materials.
In the beginning of the lab work, the whole team received safety training by the departmental specialist and the instructors. During this training we learnt about the biosafety levels and equipment, the emergency procedures and the electrical safety. Everyone who enters the lab wears lab coat, pants, closed shoes and gloves.
