Fixation and Fixatives (2) – Factors influencing chemical fixation, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde (Website)

Leica Biosystems

This second part of the Fixation and Fixatives series covers the factors that influence the rate and effectiveness of tissue fixation as well as looking at two common fixatives: formaldehyde (histology) and glutaraldehyde (ultrastructural electron microscopy studies).

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19): Biosafety on the Frontlines (Website, Webinar)

Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL)

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED WEBINAR: This webinar will provide attendees with knowledge on how laboratories are safely testing and handling specimens during the COVID-19 response. Speakers will present on the necessary personal protective equipment for laboratories to utilize to reduce the likelihood of a laboratory acquired infection. Participants will also hear recommendations on how to handle potential positive samples and methods on how to mitigate the risk of a laboratory exposure.
