Viral and Phage Safety
Viruses and phage have the potential to shut down your manufacturing for multiple weeks to months. Preventing these from entering your facility in the first place, let alone your process, is of paramount importance. Having risk mitigation and contamination response plans in place is the key to dealing with these events. Our team can help you to put both of these in place:
Viral and Phage risk mitigation
- We start with a formal risk assessment and/or gap analysis, to help you understand your vulnerabilities to phage and viruses
- We will identify and help implement mitigation techniques for viral and phage contamination risks
- After we're gone, you'll want a lasting viral/phage risk reduction program, which we will create through procedures, training and technology (see also Animal-Derived Materials Program)
-
If it's too late, and you've had virus or phage infection in your plant, we can help with investigations, including root cause investigation and clean-up plans
