Pathogen inactivation technology
Pathogen inactivation technology refers to methods used to eliminate harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, from substances like blood, vaccines, and food products. This ensures safety for human use by preventing infections and diseases. Techniques can include heat treatment, chemicals, or ultraviolet light exposure, which disrupt the pathogens' ability to reproduce or cause harm. By employing these technologies, industries can protect public health and enhance the safety of medical and consumable products.
