Abstract
A validatable method for determining a photochemically effective dose for inactivating pathogens in a fluid sample is described herein. In particular, the instant invention covers methods for determining a photochemically effective dose sufficient to inactivate pathogens in a biological sample while leaving biologically active substances of interest unaffected. A batch irradiation reactor effective for inactivating pathogens in biological samples is also described.
