Caption:
This historic 1963 photograph depicted a lab technician, Geraldine Wiggins, as she was performing a chromatographic antigen fractionation, which consisted of the separation of antigen fractions from Histoplasma capsulatum organisms, using pH and molarity. Using a shaker, Ms. Wiggins was also about to perform a subsequent agar gel test upon human histoplasmosis sera. Modern day protocols now call for the laboratorian executing such tasks, to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety goggles, gloves, and a facemask.
