At SmiLe you can work with GMO in the cell labs (BSL-2) and in the protein lab (BSL-1). But before you start growing genetically modified bacteria, or cells with reporter genes, you are required by law to perform a risk assessment and fill out a registration form.
SmiLe has the overall responsibility for the GMO facilities, L-verksamhet (cell labs) and F-verksamhet (protein lab). But each company is responsible for the GMO applications they perform in these facilities. You need to notify SmiLe before you start any new application and provide the filled out forms. We will then add them to our documentation and notify the Swedish Work Environment Authorities (more information here). You can download the official instructions ‘innesluten användning av genetiskt modifierade mikroorganismer‘ below, along with the required forms.
If you need help, contact Martina.
