Biologics are life-changing but vulnerable products. They are inherently vulnerable to viral contamination due to their reliance on animal- or human-derived starting materials and complex manufacturing processes. Viral contamination incidents, while rare, can threaten patient safety, disrupt production, and damage reputations. Traditional virus detection methods have served the industry for decades, but increasing product complexity and faster drug product supply demand more efficient and advanced technologies for viral contaminant detection. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables fast, agnostic, broad, and highly sensitive virus detection and identification.
In this white paper from Charles River Laboratories, learn more about integrating NGS into viral safety programs and how these methods support the path to faster, safer, and more ethical biologics manufacturing.
