Before you start working in our laboratories
No one is allowed to work in our laboratories without first completing the Lab Safety Introduction. This will be given to you by the AGENSI Lab Manager. It is required that all lab users understand and agree to abide by rules and regulations before starting any lab work. AGENSI leadership reserves the right to revoke lab privileges from any user if rules and regulations are not followed.
The AGENSI Labs
The AGENSI Lab contains of five lab zones. The configuration of these five zones consists of a restricted-access central Entry Zone (Zone 1) by which four activity-specific interior lab zones are accessed. These interior lab zones separately house equipment and furnishings for sediment handling (Zone 2), sampling preparation (Zone 3), DNA purification and template addition (Zone 4/6) and pre-PCR setup (Zone 5). These interior lab zones are therefore referred to as, respectively, the Sediment Lab (Zone 2), the Prep Lab (Zone 3), the Pre-PCR Lab (Zone 5) and the DNA Lab (Zone 4/6). Click on the individual lab zone links to learn more about equipment, protocols and routines for each lab zone.
