This document provides an overview of safety protocols for a plant biotechnology laboratory. It includes sections on general safety rules for using equipment like pipettes, gel electrophoresis, and pH meters. Hazards are outlined for specific reagents like BME and ethidium bromide. The document also discusses interests in the laboratory relating to climate change and food security issues in Bangladesh.

My name is Bidhan Sarkar , and I
am a recent Biochemistry graduate
from Dhaka University.
In my free time ,I enjoy spending
time with friends ,learning new
things, reading and travelling.

10. Reagents and commercial kits
BME can be toxic if ingested, and
fatal if inhaled or absorbed through
the skin.
Vapors can irritate the eyes, mucous
membranes, and respiratory tract.
Use double mask when taking BME

11. Working with pipettes, PCR tubes
and tips:

Push the plunger down slowly to the point of first
resistance: this sets the load volume.
While holding the plunger at the load volume set
point, put the tip into the solution so that it is
immersed just enough to cover the end (3-4 mm).
Slowly release the plunger to draw up the liquid
making sure to keep the tip immersed. Visually
inspect the load to make sure it is correct.
12. pH Meter & Nanodrop
CalibratingYour pH Meter
Place electrode in the buffer with a pH value
of 7.
Set the pH.
Rinse your electrode with distilled water.
Place your electrode in the appropriate
buffer for your sample and begin reading.
Open the NanoDrop software and select the
NucleicAcid application.
Use a small-volume, calibrated pipettor to
perform a blank measurement by dispensing
1 亮L of buffer onto the lower optical surface.
Lower the lever arm and select "Blank" in
the NucleicAcid application

13. Gel Electrophoresis
Ethidium Bromide, commonly used to
visualize nucleic acid, is a potent
mutagen and should be handled with
caution, even when mixed in the gel.
Ethidium Bromide can be absorbed
through the skin so it is also important
to avoid any direct contact with the
chemical.
