| Abstract: | Avoidance and elimination of viral contamination in biotechnological and pharmaceutical processes is a crucial issue. The novel UVivatec coiled tube reactor was designed for UV irradiation of cloudy liquid media. It very effectively inactivates especially critical viruses and avoids high product losses. The method proposed is an ideal complement to existing and established processes. |
