Virus clearance studies are an essential step to get a biologic to the market. The goal of such studies is to verify how well a particular purification procedure removes or inactivates viral contamination. When Vitus Clearance studies are poorly designed, however, they can lead to low log reduction values (LRV) — and questions from regulators

.
