Does anyone know of a documented transmission of any human virus to a
sorter operator associated with aerosol generation in sorting or analysis?
Also, to what extent have sorter operators complied with the 1992 OSHA
requirement for hepatitis B vaccination of lab workers coming in contact
with human blood or blood products?
