Webinar Overview
Viral clearance (VC) studies are mandatory for biological treatments derived from human and/or animal sources like recombinant proteins, blood products, vaccines, and critical medical devices. These studies examine the potential removal and/or inactivation of adventitious and endogenous viruses during certain steps of the manufacturing purification process and ensure they’re safe for use in humans.
However, despite existing regulatory guidelines, designing a VC study is often not as straightforward as you might expect. In this webinar you’ll be given an in-depth look at some of the challenges you may encounter and the steps you can take to ensure viral clearance study success.
