Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the safety considerations in research. This tenet demands an awareness of the possible risks associated with the research materials that are handled, knowledge of mechanisms by which exposure may occur, use of procedures and techniques that reduce the potential for exposure, and continuous vigilance to guard against compromise and error. The primary intent of the application is the protection of the cell culture rather than the cell culture investigator. The experienced cell culture worker is aware that cell cultures are susceptible to contamination; knows the potential sources of contamination and the means by which contaminants can be introduced into cell cultures; is proficient in the use of procedures and techniques for preventing cell culture contamination; and understands that a relaxation in good laboratory practice often results in cell culture contamination. |
