Focus on viral safety and molecular biology tests

This activity introduces the basics of viral safety and molecular biology methods, highlighting the importance of virus control, their potential sources of contamination, and the techniques used for their detection and quantification.

This activity explores the three complementary approaches to viral safety: raw material selection, direct and indirect testing, and viral clearance steps, emphasizing their combined role in ensuring the safety of bioproducts.

This activity enables the implementation of viral safety tests at various stages of production through practical cases, adapting testing strategies to the specific risks associated with different types of bioproducts.
