Validated GMO inactivation

In order to more formally validate the usual GMO inactivation done with bleach for disposal of plates and cultures, we are adding this page. This validation was performed with two brands of commercial bleach and is applicable to both GMO bacteria and nematode worms transformed with antibioticR plasmids. It is directly specific for this SOP of the lab collection.

Always take care in using bleach and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (lab coat, gloves, and eye protection).
