Validating Virus Clearance in a Single-Use System Part 1: Film Adsorption and Virus Inactivation Studies

Single-use technology offers a number of benefits over traditional stainless-steel equipment, but manufacturers must be confident that single-use technology is appropriate for their most critical and aggressive processing steps. In this study, the use of a single-use mixing technology was evaluated and characterized for the performance of a detergent-based virus inactivation step during a monoclonal antibody production process.
