Raw Material Testing

Whenever animal derived material is used in development or manufacturing, the risk of  contamination with adventitious agents must be considered.  For this reason, not only products that are produced from animal derived material are at risk, but also products that have used animal derived material in their manufacture.  Therefore, testing animal derived raw materials used in manufacturing is critical.

We offer the following services and assays for Raw Material Testing:

• Sterility Assays
• Mycoplasma Detection Assays
• In vitro virology assays
• Residual Contaminant Assays
• Endotoxin Detection
• Bioburden Detection
• Mycobacterium Assays
• Virus Specific Assays
• 9CFR Testing

Many cell culture systems require additives derived from bovine or porcine origin such as fetal bovine or newborn calf sera, insulin, transferrin, various growth factors and trypsin. BioReliance offers in vitro assays for the presence of bovine and porcine viruses as described in the 9CFR.
