In-house Assembled Protective Devices in Laboratory Safety in Clinical Biochemistry Laboratory of a COVID-19 Dedicated Hospital

Abstract

The highlights of the manuscript are •Strengthening the Basics Approaches to protect the lab personnel in dedicated COVID hospital of Low-Resource Settings.• Designed and developed in-house standard operating procedure (SOP) to fill the gap and evaluate the effect in dedicated COVID-19 hospitals.• Innovative protective devices made from OHP sheets and cardboard boxes fitted with hypochlorite spraying devices as alternatives to biosafety cabinets on contamination of laboratory surfaces.• Performances of the devices were clinically validated and it can be used as alternative in low resources settings.
