Subject: [Crc] GMO/GMM
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:
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
