Routines for microbial work
By law all micro organisms should be considered as pathogens and disposed thereafter. This includes bacteria, bacteriophages, yeast and other fungi. Use Jodopax at a concentration of 0, 05% iodine in order to disinfect the micro organisms. If Jodopax contains 5% iodine, dilute1:100 in order to get 0, 05% solution. It is not allowed to introduce new microbes into the lab without notifying the head of the department.
The following rules apply:
- Glass pipettes must be put in buckets with 0, 05% iodine.
- Pipette tips must be put in 0, 05% iodine or autoclaved.
- Bacterial and bacteriophage cultures must be killed with 0, 05% iodine.
- Waste petri dishes with microorganisms should be autoclaved and then put in with the regular garbage. Carry the waste to the garbage room yourself.
- Spilled bacteria are to be treated with 70% ethanol or 0, 05% iodine and wiped up.
