![Bio-rad]( "Mammalian Virus Purification Using Ceramic Hydroxyapatite")
Mammalian Virus Purification Using Ceramic HydroxyapatiteConventional techniques for mammalian virus purification produce variable quality, quantity, and significant loss of particle infectivity. We propose the chromatographic separation of viral particles of diverse sizes and from different families such as dengue, influenza, mouse hepatitis, adenovirus, poliovirus using CHT Ceramic Hydroxyapatite resin.

Effect Of Sterilization On Mechanical Properties Of Silicone Rubbers
Silicone rubber is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry where sterilizability is an essential requirement for all fluid transfer equipment. Pharmaceutical products must be sterilized frequently and repeatedly by high level energy and/or chemical vapor in order to eliminate bacterial surface contamination.
