Lab Safety
Zhejiang University has set a strict protocol to ensure the safety of laboratory. Students are required the wear protect equipments including lab-gown, long pants, gloves and so on while dealing with chemical and biological regents. A room is specialized for DNA gel even we use ExRed replace EB as laboratory has a reasonable division.
Research Safety
All students involved hava been trained to operate equipments, reagents and strains in a safety way. We are not able to do ecperiment until pass the bio-safety examination.
Public Safety
We try to dispel the misunderstanding about genetic organism as the strong concerning among public.
Environment Safety
Both DH5-α and BL21(DE3) we used don't contain F plasmid, which guarantee our gene would not spread to other bacterial in environment. The useless bacterial colonies will be sterilized before abandoned.
