Please be aware that the substances you are working with maybe highly toxic. Consult [[Substance and Toxicity databases]] before if you are unfamiliar with the compounds with which you will be working.


=== No mouth pipetting ===
All users of the Biolab must follow the [[Biolab Usage Guidelines]] for their own and other user's safety.
 
This is fairly self explanatory, and is also specifically mentioned in the regulations. (I presume due to some fairly horrific accidents)
 
=== No unlabelled containers ===
 
Unlabelled containers are a hazard, even if they are not hazardous.
 
It makes it difficult to keep the lab tidy if there are random concoctions cluttering the shelves.
 
Please label with the following;
 
* nick
* date
* contents
 
and if you are going to be leaving something hazardous or plan to leave an experiment running for an extended duration, please mail the list.
