Special Safety Notes of Particular Relevance to the Rickus Lab

general lab handling

  1. Dry Ice. Many of our incoming shipments will arrive packed in dry ice. Dry ice is solid dioxide. Dry ice is extremely cold. Special care should be taken. Use insulated gloves to handle the dry ice. In addition, dry ice required good ventilation in the room. The solid CO2 will sublimate into gaseous CO2 which can fill a closed space and result in suffication.

  1. pyrahna solution.

Cell Culture Lab, Bindley Room 158

  1. Cell Lines. Currently all cells in 158 are Biosafety Level 1 cells.
  2. Gas Cylinders Gad cylinders can serve as projectiles if damaged or knocked over. All cylinders must be properly secured using a chain or a strap. In addition, all cylinders must be either capped during storage or have a regulator during use. There should not be any uncapped cylinders in the lab or storage areas.
