Check-In

You must complete a Check-In form for every whole organism and every part you will use that is not on the "White List". You may not acquire or begin working with the organism/part until the Safety Committee has approved your Check-In. If you already started working with the organism/part, complete a Check-In as soon as you can, and use the "Further Comments" box at the bottom to explain what work you have already done.

The Check-In form is short and easy. Even if you are only thinking about using an organism/part, please go ahead and submit a Check-In, or consult us by emailing safety AT igem DOT org. We will reply as quickly as we can. We want to help you work safely!

We will acknowledge receipt of each Check-In form within two business days, and we will send a reply within one week. We expect to reply to most Check-In forms much more quickly.

You are logged in as $SUBMITTER-NAME ($SUBMITTER-USERNAME), and completing a Check-In Form for team $TEAMNAME. If this is incorrect, please [link]log out.
