Viral Clearance
Viral clearance is an important process used to ensure the safety of biologics, pharmaceuticals, and medical products. This process involves the removal of infectious viruses which might be present in the manufactured products. Viral clearance is necessary due to the potential risks posed by viruses for human health, as many viruses can cause serious diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and Influenza. In order to ensure virus-free products, manufacturers utilize a range of viral clearance methodologies such as filtration, adsorption, inactivation, single-use bioreactors, and the development of customized viral removal strategies. These different strategies are utilized to reduce the level of virus contamination and eliminate the risk of virus-related illnesses. Viral clearance is therefore an essential tool in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical industries, as it serves to maintain high standards of safety and quality assurance.
