1. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as lab coats, gloves, safety goggles, and closed-toe shoes at all times in the laboratory.
2. Familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of safety equipment, including fire extinguishers, emergency showers, and eyewash stations.
3. Keep the laboratory clean and organized to minimize the risk of accidents. Clear pathways and work areas from clutter and obstructions.
4. Never work alone in the laboratory; always have a lab partner or supervisor present.
5. Follow proper handling and disposal procedures for chemicals, biological materials, and hazardous waste.
6. Be aware of emergency evacuation procedures and exits in case of fire or other hazardous situations.
1. Before starting the experiment, read and understand the experiment protocol or procedure.
2. Ensure that all equipment and instruments are in good working condition before use. Report any malfunctioning equipment to the supervisor.
3. Handle all equipment with care, following the manufacturer's instructions and any additional precautions provided by your supervisor.
4. Use the single-channel pipette to dispense liquids accurately. Avoid pipetting by mouth to prevent contamination and accidental ingestion.
5. When using the alcohol burner, exercise caution to prevent fire hazards. Maintain a safe distance from flammable materials and always use a heat-resistant mat.
6. Use the multi-purpose horizontal electrophoresis apparatus and associated power supply according to the manufacturer's instructions. Be cautious of electrical hazards and avoid touching wet surfaces or live electrical components.
7. When using the table concentrator, drying oven, vertical steam pressure fire incubator, electro-heating standing-temperature cultivator, water bath, balance, fridge, microwave, high-speed centrifuge, palm centrifuge, clean bench, Gradient PCR, Ultra Dong type UV platform, and electrophoresis equipment power supply, adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines and any specific safety precautions provided by your supervisor.
8. Never leave experimental setups unattended and avoid unnecessary distractions while conducting experiments.
