UNMC PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON COVID-19 TEST PROCESSES

OMAHA - Not only are technologists in the Nebraska Public Health Laboratory working overtime testing specimens for COVID-19, they also are making test processes more efficient and safe for lab technologists across the country.

Pete Iwen, Ph.D., director of the Nebraska Public Health Laboratory and professor in the UNMC Department of Pathology and Microbiology, and his colleagues recently published two articles in the American Journal of Clinical Pathology, a major journal referenced by laboratory technologists.

One article provides biosafety instructions for laboratorians; the other focuses on the use of group testing to conserve laboratory test materials. Both articles are considered "hot topics," having received thousands of views and downloads.
