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.
