GLP virology testing

Our GLP-compliant virology testing complements our antimicrobial efficacy testing services through product tests against viruses commonly requested for use in household, hospital and veterinary spaces.

Antimicrobial pesticide device testing – Devices that act as an antimicrobial, or that produce an antimicrobial product, can be regulated by either the EPA or the FDA. In addition to providing best-in-class virucidal antimicrobial pesticide device testing services, our consultative antimicrobial testing experts can help you to navigate the complex regulations surrounding antimicrobial devices confidently and successfully.

Residual virucidal efficacy testing – Products that provide continuous protection against viruses for days, weeks, or months must meet EPA regulations and guidance for virucidal efficacy claims. Сòòò½APP’s knowledgeable antimicrobial experts can test products to a wide range of established methodology or develop custom testing protocols to meet your specific needs.

Treated article virucidal efficacy testing – Navigating EPA regulations for articles treated with antimicrobial pesticides intended to preserve or protect the article itself can be challenging. With over three decades of experience testing treated articles, our responsive and knowledgeable team can test treated articles to established methods or develop custom protocols to meet your treated article testing needs.

Virucidal EN testing – European countries and other jurisdictions require the evaluation of biocidal products for virucidal activity using European Standards biocidal products. With deep expertise in testing to EN standards for virucidal activity, we offer virucidal EN testing to a range of established methods. Custom EN methods or other EN methods may be considered or tailored to meet the distinct testing needs for a specific product for ECHA registration.

Virucidal disinfectant testing – In the US, data demonstrating antiviral activity must be generated to support disinfectant and sanitizing claims, which are regulated by the EPA. For more than 30 years, Сòòò½APP has assessed the efficacy of sanitizing and disinfectant products against microorganisms and viruses to established methods and custom testing protocols.

cGMP virology testing

Our cGMP-compliant molecular cell biology and virology testing complements our pharmaceutical product testing and includes mycoplasma, cytotoxin and endotoxin testing, among other services.

USP <63>, EP 2.6.7 Mycoplasma Tests – Сòòò½APP's virology testing experts offer mycoplasma tests to established methodology, including USP <6> and Ph. Eur./EP 2.6.7.

USP <87> Biological Reactivity Tests, ISO 10993-5, Cytotoxicity – We have decades of experience performing biological reactivity tests to USP <87> in addition to cytotoxicity testing per ISO 10993-5. 

Custom studies– We can develop custom studies to meet your specific needs. Services include assay development and validation, cell line generation, potency and safety testing, as well as impurity, and safety testing. 

Microbiological contaminants – Ð¡òòò½APP's GMP virology testing for microbial contaminants includes sterility and mycoplasma tests. This includes retroviruses, adventitious viruses, endotoxin: LAL, residual DNase, RNase and protease activities. We can also test cells at the limit of in vitro cell age or end of production cells, in addition to unprocessed bulk and final filled product samples.
