Virus Inactivation

High Quality Chemicals for Virus Inactivation

As a drug manufacturer, you are required to ensure the viral safety of your biological therapeutic products.

There are a variety of methods to reduce virus, such as treatments with dry heat, steam or at pH 4. For virus inactivation in proteins, such as Factor VIII or van Willebrand factor, a solvent/detergent treatment is the method of choice to inactivate lipid-coat enveloped viruses. With other proteins, such as albumine, pasteurization is the preferred option.

Chemicals, which are used for virus inactivation, must meet the same high quality standards as other raw materials in your process. All our high quality raw materials are either manufactured or purified under GMP in consistent high purity, thus making your process reliable. They bear the EMPROVE® trademark and come with comprehensive regulatory documentation that contributes to the quality of your registration dossier. The result: making your work even faster and more cost-efficient.
