Establish a standard inactivation protocol for virus research in a high containment laboratory
Background: Emerging and re-emerging infections caused by viruses continue to threaten us. Over the past decades, Singapore has faced threats caused by the SARS coronavirus, influenza, dengue, and chikungunya viruses, just to name a few. To understand the viral pathogenicity as well as control and prevention of the infections, a high containment has been applied for the research of high biorisk pathogens. Here, a standard precaution has been established to remove an inactivated virus samples to low biosafety environment as a business continuous strategy.
