Unveiling the Invisible Danger
A Synthetic, Multicolor measurement Toolkit for the precise Quantification of UV and Radioactive Radiation
Safety In synthetic biology you work with bacteria, with life. So you have to take care in what you are doing. It is important to decide what is ethically correct when you work with this life. In synthetic biology you build bio machines which could be dangerous. You also have to take safety precautions when you work in a laboratory. PD Dr. Rüdiger Arnold, a scientific coordinator and head of the Life-Science Laboratory, explained us how to work carefully and according to the biosafty level S1 requirements. In a safety introduction course he told us the most important precaution measures: * you have to wear laboratory gloves, lab coats and sometimes protective goggles * you have to wash your hands after working in a laboratory * contaminated areas have to be cleaned with 80% ethanol * do not eat or drink in a laboratory * autoclave contaminated materials before disposal * be sure to work according to the protocol * safety first - the highest priority is to save and protect the health and life of an individual working in a lab
