Safety

The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) represents some risks and concenrns for society. Therefore, their use and handling are strictly regulated. The TU Delft – Leiden iGEM team has worked on the developement of a Plug-and-Play biosensor based on electrical current, and the specific case studied has been on land mine detection. Hence, our team has been dealing with chemical components that represent a big risk for human health and for the environment. As a consequence, full awareness of the potential risks of the chemicals used for our experiments was taken, and a detailed protocol was developed to handle safely the aforementioned chemicals.
