Vetokaappien ja laminaarien siivous
by Antti Haapalainen 10 Nov '25

10 Nov '25

Hei, Minulle ilmoitettiin tänään, että vetokaapit ja laminaarit siivotaan ensi viikolla ti, ke ja to (8.-10.11.). Paikasta: ltk-yhteiset\KLIIN\CRC\ löytyy kansio vetokaapeille ja laminaareille. Voisitteko käydä viimeistään huomenna merkitsemässä ko kansioihin, että minä päivänä haluaisitte, että vetokaapit ja laminaarit siivottaisiin. Pyrkikää kuitenkin siihen, että siivottavaa tulisi suurin piirtein saman verran per päivä. Siivoukset tehdään hyvin aikaisin aamulla, joten vetokaapit ja laminaarit pitää tyhjentää siivousta edeltävänä päivänä. Terv. Antti

GMO/GMM
by Antti Haapalainen 05 Nov '25

05 Nov '25

Hei, BMTK puolella on tällä viikolla GMO/GMM tarkastuksia. Tämän takia ajattelin muistutella teitä tästä aiheesta. Liitteenä GMO lomakkeita, joilla voi pitää omaa kirjanpitoa GMO:sta. Muutama muistettava asia: * Jokainen työntekijä/tutkija on vastuussa siitä, että tuottamansa GMO on kirjattu, ja tämän tekee työntekijä/tutkija itse. * "mikro-organismilla (MO) tarkoitetaan mikrobiologista solu- tai muuta rakennetta, joka pystyy lisääntymään tai siirtämään perintöainesta, mukaan luettuina virukset, viroidit sekä eläin- ja kasvisoluviljelmät sekä ihmissolu- ja kudosviljelmät" (ote geenitekniikkalaista). * "muuntogeenisellä mikro-organismilla (GMO) tarkoitetaan mikro-organismia, jonka perintöainesta on muunnettu tavalla, joka ei toteudu luonnossa pariutumisen tuloksena tai luonnollisena yhdistelmänä" (ote geenitekniikkalaista). * Eli esim. plasmidi-DNA TE-puskurissa ei ole GMO. * Raportoitavia GMO:ita ovat puolestaan mm. kompetentit solut ja jatkuvat solulinjat vaikkakin ne on tilattu/ostettu firmoista. Nämä sen takia, koska kyseessä on geneettisesti muunneltu solu, joka on meillä/teillä säilytyksessä. * Mahdolliset päivitykset GMO kirjanpitoon tulisi tehdä välittömästi työn edetessä. Hi, FBMM is having GMO/GMM inspections this week. That's why I thought I'd remind you about this topic. Attached are GMO forms for reporting GMOs. A few things to remember: · Every employee/researcher is responsible for the GMO that he/she has produced, and the employee/researcher himself/herself do this. · "microorganism" (MO) means a microbiological cell or other structure capable of replicating or transmitting genetic material, including viruses, viroids, plant and animal cultures, human cell and tissue cultures "(extract from the law concerning genetic engineering law). · "genetically modified micro-organism (GMO)" means a micro-organism whose genetic material has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally as a result of mating or a natural combination "(extract from the law concerning genetic engineering). · So, for example, plasmid DNA in TE buffer is not a GMO. · Reported GMOs are, for example, competent cells and continuous cell lines although they have been ordered/purchased from companies. This is because it is a genetically modified and we have stored those. · Please update you GMO files whenever a new GMO is produced and stored. Terv. Antti

Webinar on the replacement of animal research, 14.10.2025
by Sakari Laaksonen 07 Oct '25

07 Oct '25

The next Finnish 3R Centre<https://fin3r.fi/en> webinar: Registration is open for the free webinar "Supporting Replacement in Academia" which will be presented by Barney Reed, RSPCA, UK Date: Tuesday, 14 October 2025, at 14:00 (EEST, in Helsinki) ABSTRACT In the UK, and in many other countries, more than half of all animal use for scientific purposes takes place within universities and medical schools, primarily in fundamental and applied research. There are particular barriers to changing current research practices in these settings. These include social and cultural issues relating to 'the way science is done', and established systems of funding, publishing and career progression which can incentivise or 'lock-in' certain behaviours. This presentation will discuss an ongoing RSPCA project exploring how these factors may impact upon the ability of scientists across the range of career levels to train in and adopt non-animal methods. Drawing on findings from in-depth semi-structured interviews with researchers using animals across UK universities, this presentation will highlight drivers of animal use and barriers and opportunities around the uptake and acceptance of non-animal methods in academic research. Individuals shared their insights, perspectives and concerns as they spoke candidly about the issues they faced (including knowledge, skills, and expertise; communities and networks; academic environment and pressures; access; and awareness and engagement) and the support they felt they, and those like them, would need. In examining these factors, the project aims to offer tailored recommendations to funders, regulators, professional and learned societies, journal publishers, Animal Welfare Bodies, individual institutions and others, for further stimulating and supporting the replacement of animal use in academia. Reference: McGlacken, R. & Reed, B. T. (2024). Supporting Replacement in Academia: Exploring barriers around the acceptance and uptake of non-animal methods in science in UK academia. RSPCA, Horsham, UK. Full report available at: https://tinyurl.com/SupportingReplacement2024 SPEAKER Barney is Senior Science and Policy Manager in the Animals in Science Department of the RSPCA. He works with individuals and organisations involved in the regulation, use and care of lab animals in the UK, EU and across the world to promote the fullest implementation of the 3Rs, and support the development and uptake of non-animal methodologies, good cultures of care within institutions, and effective systems of ethical review. He has served on the institutional Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Bodies (the UK equivalent of AWBs/AECs/IACUCs) of eight establishments across academia and industry, and been a member of numerous European Commission Expert Working Groups producing guidance on implementing Directive 2010/63/EU. Between 2016 and 2023, he was appointed to the UK national Animals in Science Committee. In October 2023 he was elected to the Governing Board of the International Council for Laboratory Animal Science (ICLAS).
