ViruSure Launches Pioneering First-In-Class Viral Contamination Test for Biopharmaceuticals Using Oxford Nanopore Technology ViruSure and Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc announce the launch of the industry’s first Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) validated adventitious viral agent (AVA) detection test using nanopore-based sequencing technology.
The ViruSure test has been developed and evaluated under rigorous conditions and is powered by Oxford Nanopore’s advanced molecular sensing platform. It will be used for the detection of viral contamination within the manufacturing process, providing biopharmaceutical teams with richer viral detection insights and faster time-to-result, accessibly and affordably. A rapid and sensitive test, it can detect AVAs regardless of virus type, to improve confidence in biomanufacturing safety. Viral contamination remains one of the most significant threats to biopharmaceutical manufacturing, causing production delays and potential biologic, vaccine and cell and gene therapy product shortages. Traditional viral detection methods can take months to provide the full panel of results, with each individual test often taking more than 14 days, and contaminants still going undetected or reported as false positives. This innovation addresses a critical need to streamline AVA detection within biomanufacturing, a rapidly growing market currently valued at $20 billion, of which at least $4 billion is related to AVA testing. Global regulatory authorities have also recognised the urgent industry demand for faster and more reliable solutions and actively encouraged the adoption of advanced sequencing-based testing methods. ViruSure and Oxford Nanopore are also working together to introduce a Good Manufacturing Process (GMP)-validated solution, which they expect will follow shortly. Aankondiging • Jun 06
