Rules and Regulations

Basic Safety Equipment Required

  • Gloves - Protect your hands from bacteria and the epoxy
  • Safety Goggles - Protect your eyes from possible spillages / toxic materials
  • Lab Coat - Protects clothes and body from hazardous reagents and fire

Basic Sterilization Procedures:

  • Ethanol - Kills 99.8% of all bacteria and is used to disinfect lab equipment and tools
  • Alcohol Lamp - takes care of the remaining .2% and provides a small rising air current which makes it harder for bacteria to contaminate our cultures.
