Public Safety

Researchers' safety

For conducting experiments safely, we made an agreement within our team as follows:

1.Time restriction

All of our experiments were held in the time zone of A.M5:00 to P.M22:00, for midnight experiments could be a major cause of accident. We planned our experiments to meet this rule and made sure all the experiments never to be held in distracted mind.

2.Outfits

In Bioengineering experiments, we always have to be aware of the fact that we're handling genetically modified organisms,and there's always danger of the outburst of genetically engineered organisms outside the laboratory if enough attention is paid by the researchers. We always sterilized our hands by alcohol before/after the experiment, and changed our shoes when getting in/out the laboratory. Of course, experimental-appropriate outfits were chosen in the whole period in iGEM.

3.Disposal of chemicals/samples

Ethical issues

We made sure that our project itself wont cause any kind of danger toward the public. Even if the circuit we built work disorderly, it has nothing to do with occurence of biohazard.
