Sartorius UVivatec Virus Inactivation UV Lab CLEARANCE! As-Is

Virus inactivation with UVivatec is an integral part of the orthogonal virus clearance technology platform of Sartorius Stedim Biotech. This orthogonal platform features virus inactivation, virus adsorption and virus filtration. UVivatec shows efficient (> 4 log) inactivation of both small non-enveloped viruses (20 nm) e.g. PPV, MVM
and larger enveloped viruses (> 50 nm) e.g. MuLV from biopharmaceutical feed streams by UV-C irradiation (254 nm) while maintaining product integrity. Inactivation of viruses using the UVivatec technology is based on nucleic acid damage caused by UV-C irradiation. The novel helical reactor design provides uniform irradiation through efficient radial mixing based on dean vortices.
