About This Presentation
Viral clearance studies are essential to biologics development, but traditional single-virus spike studies can slow programs down with added cost, extended timelines, and high material demands.
In this webinar, scientists from KBI Biopharma and Texcell North America introduce a newly published, validated dual virus spike approach that enables XMuLV and MMV to be tested simultaneously in the same load material, with each virus quantified through virus-specific assays.
The result is a smarter, more efficient path to viral clearance studies that helps teams start earlier, reduces execution burden, and potentially takes viral clearance off the critical path to IND submission.
What You Will Learn
- See how a proven dual virus spike approach can cut time, lower costs, and reduce material demands in viral clearance studies
- Learn how this approach can support faster early-stage development and help remove viral clearance from the IND critical path
- Explore how dual spike studies deliver results comparable to traditional single-virus approaches across critical downstream operations
