Two trainees are seen in personal protective equipment, dressed in a blue smock and green gloves. One trainee is working in the negative pressure glovebox and inactivating suspicious samples. He holds a pipette and pipettes the contents of a microcentrifuge tube. The other person (also called a buddy) observes the entire process to ensure that laboratory procedures for handling suspected viral haemorrhagic fever samples are followed. As this was a training session as part of a master course, the samples to be processed were not infectious.BNITM
