UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson visits Lighthouse Laboratory used to process PCR covid tests

The video tutorial covers the process of handling viruses safely, including initial preparation, scanning barcodes, and sorting samples. It explains the importance of stabilizing and inactivating the virus to ensure safety. The tutorial also highlights quality control measures to ensure the process is effective.

What is the primary reason for using a hood when handling virus samples?

• To speed up the processing time

• To enhance the visibility of samples

• To protect operators from contamination

• To keep the samples warm

What is the purpose of scanning barcodes during sample preparation?

• To measure the weight of the samples

• To clean the samples

• To ensure samples are correctly identified and tracked

• To label the samples with colors

Why is it important to stabilize the virus with saline or media during shipment?

• To prevent the virus from being destroyed

• To make the virus grow faster

• To make the virus heavier

• To change the color of the virus

What is the next step after inactivating the virus in the liquid?

• To heat the virus

• To freeze the virus

• To move it down the line for further processing

• To discard the virus

What is the role of a control sample in the virus processing workflow?

• To reduce the size of the virus

• To change the virus properties

• To ensure the process is working correctly

• To speed up the process
