As a new Biolab or Before YOU start work in the SupraFAB Biolab, Optical Microscopy (OM) user)/Microfluidics (MF) labs, you have to get introduced before you start work about Biolab Safety by the "Projektleitung" of the facility (e.g. Katharina Achazi, Stefanie Wedepohl or Daniel Lauster) based on the Operating Instructions. To complete the introduction, you need to get introduced to sign the introduction protocol in the genetic engeering folder in office 111 (Altensteinstr. 23a) and you need a practical training in the facility by one of the Biolab Team memebers and get introduced to the biolab agreement.
In addtion, you may need to make an appointment with FUB's medical service (amz-anmeldung@charite.de) for an medical check-up based on the Questionaire before you start to work in the biolab (cells, tissue, blood etc.). A certificate about this examination and the periodic re-eaxamination needs to be provided to the Biolab Team.
Once a year, every Biolab User has to attent the mandatory Biosafety introduction.
by the Biolab Team to the lab safety rules and routines and you have to complete some administrative tasks.
This includes the following steps:
Oral safety instruction for the Genetic Engineering Facility 92/14 (obligatory once a year) by the on-site “Projektleitung”of the genetic engineering facility 92/14 documented by signature
Providing the Questionnaire for Occupational Health Careto the on-site “Projektleitung” of the genetic engineering facility 92/14
Any mandatory medical check-up indicated by the questionnaire must be carried out at the FUB's Occupational Health Center prior to starting work and confirmed by a certificate indicating the date for the follow-up check-up.Becoming familiar with the Operating instructions (BA) of the Genetic Engineering Facility 92/14 incl. the current Annex 2 Part A Il GenTSV, the Emergency Guide, the Hygiene and Skin Protection Guidelines as well as further BAs for devices, hazardous substances or working proceduresalso posted in each lab area
- Providing your zedat account name to Katharina Achazi to get access to the data storage servers, the biolab wiki, the instrument booking system OpenIRIS and getting included in the biolab/OM mailing lists; in case you have no, apply at the zedat
- Applying for access and a transponder by providing the filled and signed transponder form to Achim Wiedekind (office 102) or Katharina Tebel (office 103)
- Practical training and introduction by the Biolab Team based on the biolab agreement
In case you want to bring viruses, bacteria, cell lines or human material If you bring human materials (including blood, serum, plasma, mucus or tissue) , cells, bacteria, viruses, as well as reagents, assays, kits, antibodies or other substances to the biolab, register them in the wiki, provide the relevant safety information and make sure you are allowed to handle them in the biolab and you obey the relevant safety procedures. Hazardous subszatnces must be also registers in chemical data base of FUB the CLAKS.
For data storage we have the zellbio-useres network drive.
