Vaccine Testing

MDS offers vaccine testing for both cell banks and virus stocks used in human vaccine production for the presence of adventitious agents as well as Bunyavirus and Flavivirus.

Since your processing cell lines and/or virus seed stocks may at some point have been exposed to animal-derived materials, MDS additionally offers testing for bovine and porcine viruses. These assays are designed per instructions in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Animals and Animal Products, Title 9 (9 CFR).

Many manufacturers face the challenge of testing virus stocks in cell-based assay systems. MDS can design accurate, efficient testing strategies in concert with your manufacturing experts. If neutralizing antibodies are needed, we can work to qualify the assay systems, ensuring reliable results.

Bunyavirus
