* UV light will be emitted during Gel Electrophoresis.
Measure: Wear UV light protective shield to prevent vision damage.
*Bio-hazardous waste may be created when handling bacteria..
Measure: Use 75% alcohol to sanitise everything before and after the experiment.
*Transformation process of bacteria may release toxins or infectious agents and can cause a potential allergic reaction.
Measure: Wear protective gloves and ignite the bunsen flame when carrying out experiments.
*Bacteria lysis and ELISA assay contain allergic substances.
Measure:
-Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
-Wear protective gloves and face protection.
*All safety measures are taken according to the instructions by the Education Bureau.
*We have consulted our Laboratory technician before the experiments start.
As dedicated synthetic biologists, we prioritize the safety of our test kit and take into account all relevant factors. To ensure a comprehensive approach, we actively sought guidance from renowned biosafety experts. One of our valuable consultations was with Dr. Suen Ka Chun, our esteemed principal at the Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation College, who provided invaluable insights into lab safety and biocontainment measures. We also consulted Mr. To Ching Yuet, our highly knowledgeable biology teacher, who shared his expertise on this matter.
