Check-In Form published! Check-In by October 1 for organisms/parts already used

The Check-In form is now available for you to complete! Please submit a Check-In for any organism or part that is not on the White List.

Because of the late date, we know that most teams have already used many organisms/parts in the lab. Please review the organisms/parts you have used so far, refer to the White List, and submit Check-Ins for organisms/parts you have already used by October 1st (earlier is better).

Email safety AT igem DOT org with any questions.
