We adhere to good laboratory practices by ensuring proper handling of materials, effective emergency procedures, and correct waste disposal methods. This commitment guarantees a safe and compliant research environment. Our project, which involved a wide range of techniques was conducted in strict compliance with safety regulations. All experiments were carried out in Prof. Dr. Kristian Müller’s laboratory at Bielefeld University, following BSL-1 standard operating procedures. Properly equipped facilities are crucial to prevent contamination, exposure, or accidental release of modified organisms, ensuring the highest level of safety in our laboratories.

In addition to the general safety briefing, specific instructions for the safe operation of each device were provided. The Safety and Security Officer within the laboratory highlighted the potential hazards and necessary precautionary measures. We have focused on planning our laboratory activities to minimize risk for safer practices. This ensures not only the safe and proper use of equipment but also the generation of reliable data. To meet all safety requirements, additional safety protocols have been put in place for all targeted areas of the laboratory equipment.
