Cette page rassemble des informations sur l'utilisation sûre des organismes génétiquement modifiés (OGM) dans le laboratoire P1 du Hackuarium. Voici la version FR de ce page.
This is a page to pull together more information about safe use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the Hackuarium P1 laboratory. Here is the French version of this page.
Working safely in the P1 lab
All members who want to use the P1 lab are trained to avoid problems for the environment, themselves or others, in their research pursuits in this lab, whether or not they use genetically modified organisms
Introduction
The P1 laboratory is a part of Hackuarium with controlled access for trained users, who might want to do biological research and possibly work with genetically modified organisms.
Background & Inspiration
The biohacking ethic of the early 'diybio' community inspired the founding of of the Swiss association, Hackuarium, in 2014 by Luc Henry and Yann Heurteux.
The old archived wiki entry...
DIYBio and DIT Research in Community Laboratories
Following the code is key. see to right.
&
Safety is primordial, for both kinds of biosecurity!
A certain community lab biosafety manual is great...
(However, it is not accessible for the easy translations. One needs to translate the small segments of parts of most interest to you. (DeepL is also worth a try, too...)
Pages du Wiki Hackuarium autour du travail P1 / Existing Hackuarium Wiki pages around the P1 work
At least three big wiki pages, plus, have contributed to P1 developments in this community lab.
This was our most recent wiki page around our P1 lab activities, from during our time in Ecublens since 2019... It is meant to be bilingual, but has only a few sections done, to date. Of course, any help is warmly welcomed.
This page dates from our initial times in the Ecublens cooperative space, but also includes a recent perspective.
Because of this, it really seemed a good idea, to have a new page (here) gathering all this info now.
This page started it all off, with Sam and YannP putting details together for prototyping 'Standard Operating Procedures' of an initial test P1 space in Renens. It even includes basic information for accident responses.
Then came the page that continued the story, for making an official P1 at the lab in Renens, and carried over into the space in Ecublens, even with recent edits, but full of many details that led to current work. Nonetheless, the current configuration of our P1 is now included early in this older wiki page, Pushing the P1.
This was the page with the first new SOPs including the initial rules when working with GMOs (including how to leave the lab, leaving labcoat inside and sterilising hands, then going to sinks by WCs to wash).
Recommandations / Recommendations
Apprendre en faisant ! / Learn by doing!
Ne procrastinez pas, et planifiez toujours à l'avance ! / Do not procrastinate, and always plan ahead!
Faites des listes et vérifiez-les deux fois ! / Make lists and check them twice!
Mesurez deux fois et coupez une fois... / Measure twice and cut once...
Wishlist for the P1 lab
We always have known our coop space in Ecublens is destined to be destroyed, so we have made do in spite of some problematic issues (carpeting in the hallways, lack of a sink in the P1 itself, an overall need for more space, etc.). However, that has never prevented us from hoping for more good things to make everything better.
Below, find some of the key items of our current wishlist.
- An icemaker
- A -80 freezer to stock strains.
- A refrigerator that won't freeze up so often.
- A more reliable -20 freezer...
- A source for clean water for molecular microbiology.**
- A sink in the lab space.
- A laminar air flow hood, in the P1 lab.
- A space with more room for biomaterials, chemistry, workshops and more.
Responsibilities of Everyone
Follow SOPs, sort waste properly, raise issues, work together.
There is a new signup list (QR code also hanging in the lab)
There is also a new form to fill in, in case of accidents. Hard copies can be found in the drawer 'forms' in the lab.
