Project procedures for safety

Here at CAPS, we make safety our number one priority when we plan and execute our experiments. Situational awareness and communication is essential for any success. When using cyanobacteria or chemicals, we always work in sterilized environment. It’s important not to contaminate our sample with ourselves or surroundings and not to contaminate us with our sample! At all times, we wear our personal protection equipment (PPE) which consists of disposable gloves, lab coats, and eye protection. We follow a safety handling protocol suggested by one of our mentors to safely and efficiently handle cyanobacteria. A mentor or qualified adult is always present to be an extra set of eyes. We know what we are going to do before we set foot in the lab.
