UVivatec®
Novel Virus Inactivation based on UV-C Technology

Virus inactivation with UVivatec® is an integral part of the orthogonal virus clearance technology platform of Sartorius Stedim Biotech. This orthogonal platform features virus filtration, virus inactivation and virus adsorption. UVivatec® shows efficient (> 4 log) inactivation of both small non-enveloped viruses (20 nm) and larger enveloped viruses
(> 50 nm) e.g. PPV, MVM, MuLV  from biopharmaceutical feed stream by UV-C irradiation (254nm) while obtaining product integrity.

UVivatec® is a state of the art virus inactivation technology with a novel helical reactor design providing uniform irradiation through efficient radial mixing based on dean vortices. UVivatec® is a robust system with single-use modules for inactivation of viruses in:

  • Fermentation media
  • Blood & plasma products
  • Therapeutic proteins and|or Mabs
  • Proteins|enzymes out of tissue extracts
  • Vaccines
