Check-In

Check-Ins are a way for you to quickly and easily ask iGEM's safety experts to review your plans for safely acquiring and using a higher risk organism/part, and to approve your plans or suggest changes. We expect to reply to most Check-In forms within a few days. However, even when we are very busy, we promise to send a reply within one week, unless you are submitting your Check-In after September 30.

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!

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.
