Planning the Execution of a Viral Clearance Study
Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing
Viral clearance studies are a necessary component of any regulatory submission for clinical trials or commercial product approval for all biopharmaceutical products. These studies are performed to evaluate the capability of the purification process to remove or inactivate viruses that could potentially contaminate the starting material. They are complex studies that require substantial financial and personnel resources, as well as specialized scientific expertise to perform.
