Safety
- Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of:
- researcher safety?
- The WashU team is working primarily with very common, safe chemicals. However, several chemicals are known to be carcinogenic (Ethidium Bromide), corrosive (Acetone), or volatile (Hexane). For each of these types of chemicals, we have established safety protocols meant to protect the researcher above all else. For carcinogens and corrosive chemicals, PPE such as nitrile gloves, lab coats, and safety goggles are used. Additionally, all work with volatile chemicals is carried out in a fume hood.
- public safety?
