Safety

2014 Virginia IGEM took various measures to ensure safety in the lab. Proper training and safe handling means reduced risk of contamination for the user and the environment, and ensures reliability of experimental procedures.

The lab: The lab was certified for use with biosafety level 2 organisms before any lab work was started. This was done by submitting a laboratory safety form to University of Virginia biosafety. Lab work was started only after every lab member had received these safety certifications by the University of Virginia:
  1. Biosafety Level 1 Training
  2. Biosafety Level 2 Training
  3. Autoclaving Safety Training
  4. Chemical Safety and Waste Training for Research Personnel
