13 Jul Blancett Virus Webinar recorded 9 july 2020
Speaker: Candace Blancett, MS, US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)
In this 44 minute webinar, recorded July 9, 2020, Candace Blancett presents her work on preparing and quantifying pathogenic viruses using electron microscopy in Biosafety Laboratory (BSL) 3-4 settings. Topics include negative staining of pathogenic viruses [1] and virus quantification using STEM [2]. These applications were enabled by using mPrep/g capsules to eliminate grid handling in the BSL 3-4 suite, which provided easier, safer, and reproducible specimen preparation.
