Operating shared resource laboratories (SRLs) in times of pandemic is a challenge for research institutions. In a multiuser, high-turnover working space, the transmission of infectious agents is difficult to control. To address this challenge, imaging core facility managers being members of German BioImaging discussed how shared microscopes could be operated with minimal risk of spreading SARS-CoV-2 between users and staff. Here, we describe the resulting guidelines and explain their rationale, with a focus on separating users in space and time, protective face masks, and keeping surfaces virus-free. These recommendations may prove useful for other types of SRLs. © 2020 The Authors.

在大流行期间运营共享资源实验室（SRL）对研究机构来说是一个挑战。在多用户、高周转率的工作空间中，很难控制传染病原体的传播。为了解决这一挑战，德国生物成像成像核心设施管理人员讨论了如何在用户和工作人员之间传播 SARS-CoV-2 的风险最小化的情况下操作共享显微镜。在这里，我们描述了由此产生的指南，并解释了其基本原理，重点是在空间和时间上分隔用户、使用防护面罩和保持表面无病毒。这些建议可能对其他类型的 SRL 有用。© 2020 作者。细胞仪部分 A 由 Wiley Periodicals LLC 代表国际细胞技术促进协会出版。
