VIDEO: Biogroup involved in the production of sanitizer gel to support Galician healthcare Service

7 Apr 2020

One of the the actions that the University of Santiago de Compostela is conducting in favor of Galician healthcare Service in coordination with the Galician Government, is to produce sanitizer gel to distribute in health centers. This task is taking place at the Pilot Plant of the School of Engineering, where some of the biogroup researchers and lab technicians are working on to produce up to 9000 litres of this hydroalcoholic solution.

To carry out this process it has been essential to set up a working group formed by researchers from different fields (chemistry, engineering, biology, pharmacy). From biogroup, some professors and lab technicians are deeply involved.

This video shows the whole process of the production that is taking place these days at the Pilot Plant of the School of Engineering:
