safety
Safety has always been our primary criterion, and our team fully complies with the iGEM lab safety provisions, which are thoroughly guaranteed during our experiments.
Entering the lab:
No backpacks in the lab
No food or drink in the lab
No loud talking in the lab
Protective clothing to be worn in the lab
Waste liquid collection
Designated trash cans with plastic bags
Some experiments must be performed under certain conditions, such as the super clean bench.
Clean up your trash before leaving the lab
In our experiment, we used E. coli, which is safe and harmless to human beings, to avoid contamination of the samples, and everyone participated in the experiment in an orderly manner on the super clean bench under the guidance of the teacher.
The team fully considered the problems in the experimental process
The experiment was conducted in the Molecular Biology Laboratory of the Medical Laboratory Center of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has a refrigerator and cabinets suitable for storing materials. Before this experiment, we learned lab training online, and on the first day in the lab, Dr. Nie led us in the experiment and taught us how to operate the precision instruments and the details of the operation. Under Dr. Nie's guidance, we learned to prepare LB medium, extract DNA plasmids, and do enzyme digestion.
