METHOD FOR VALIDATABLE INACTIVATION OF PATHOGEN IN BIOLOGICAL FLUID BY IRRADIATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for photochemically inactivating pathogens by batchwise irradiation.

SOLUTION: An effective method for determining effective dose for inactivating pathogens in a fluid sample is described. In particular, the invention covers methods for determining a photochemically effective dose sufficient to inactivate pathogens in a biological sample, while leaving biologically active materials of interest unaffected. The method includes a process for irradiating the above described biological fluid by monochromatic or polychromatic effective dose from one or more light sources. A batchwise reaction vessel effective for inactivating pathogens in the biological sample is also described.
