SAFE BY DESIGN
Rules your institute's safety office can sign off.
Controlled chemicals blocked
NDPS-controlled precursors can't be listed or requested.
Pickup only for hazards
Flammables, other dangerous goods and cold-chain items are never couriered.
No biologicals in v1
GMOs and cell lines need IBSC approval, so they're left out.
Your data stays yours
Each lab's records are kept separate.
