  1. HIV Drug Resistance Training Module 4: Molecular Lab Set-up and Workflow

  2. Topics • Principles of Lab Set Up • Other Workflow Considerations • Application of Principles

  3. Objectives • Identify principles for laboratory setup and workflow design that prevents lab contamination. • Identify examples of good/poor practices in lab setup and workflow. • Given the current lab setup, identify changes that must be made to prevent lab contamination.

  4. principles of lab set up What is the ideal set up for a molecular lab? What compromises can—and cannot—be made when the ideal is not possible?

  16. Discussion • What is the ideal set up for a molecular lab? • What compromises can—and cannot—be made when the ideal is not possible?

  17. other workflow considerations What else can we do to minimize the chances of contamination in the lab?

  18. Personnel • Perform pre-amplification work before entering post-amplification areas • Incorporate this (and all related contamination-control policies) into SOPs and/or lab policies

  19. Lab Coats • Disposable or dedicated for each area • Color-coded if possible

  20. SOP • Make copies of SOPs available in each lab to prevent upstream traffic

  21. Storage Freezer Locations • Specimen logs, access to computerized inventory, etc. in pre-amplification area • RT-PCR reagents should be stored in separate freezers from specimens.

  22. application of principles What are examples of good and poor workflow? What can we do, in our labs, to get the best possible lab set up and workflow?

  23. Example 1: What works? What doesn’t?

  24. Example 2: What works? What doesn’t?

  25. Example 3: What works? What doesn’t?

  26. Example 4: What works? What doesn’t?

  27. Example 5: What works? What doesn’t?

  28. Example 6: What works? What doesn’t?

  29. Discussion • What are examples of good and poor workflow? • What can we do, in our labs, to get the best possible lab set up and workflow?

  30. Small Group Activity • What can we do, in our labs, to get the best possible lab set up and workflow?
