11. Procedure for working with GMO (in a non 'GMO-class 1 + plants Laboratory')

Incubators, freezers, autoklaves and centrifuges can be used for GM organisms and biologically active material as long as the following procedures are followed:

 

1. All containers, flasks and centrifuge tubes must be closed in a GMO laboratory before they are brought into a non classified laboratory.
2. The outer surface of containers, flasks, tubes and centrifuge tubes must be cleaned to prevent contamination of the non-classified laboratory.
3. Containers flasks and centrifuge tubes must not be opened in a non-classified laboratory.
4. This procedure must also be followed when items are used for other than GMO purposes.
5. Accidents with spillage in apparatus must be cleaned immediately. Infected cleaning materials must be discarded in a closed container in the non-classified laboratory before transporting to a GMO laboratory where it can be discarded along with other GMO waste.
6. Contaminated apparatus decontaminates with 5% Deconex, 10% Rodalon or 70% ethanol which are placed in the non-classified laboratory for this purpose.
7. Incubators, freezers, autoclaves and centrifuges must be cleaned and decontaminated each month by the person responsible.
