Hello everyone ...Feeling very happy to be a part of this Skills test 2011. In fact I was supposed to be a participant in Skills test 2009 but was not fortunate as I was not aware of how to get into this and wasn't having a proper guide. In this context I should thank Sirisha and Suresh Kumar for encouraging and introducing me into this vast platform of pharmainfo.net.

Memoir of my journey!!!

Submitted by sirisha on Sun, 12/18/2011 - 10:59
Behind most of the victories one or other person is involved. How can I forget my parents, who extend their constant support whenever I shoot new online tasks. Since I do not have a personalized system I need to rely on the desktop which is located amidst my parent's room. I should acknowledge this issue because sometimes the blogging time is midnight while sometimes it is early morning. Yet, they never complained of their wee sleeping hours.

A range of assay methods are used to detect viral contaminants in the raw materials and final finished products. It is obvious that a single viral assay cannot detect the entire viral types present in the sample. So how can we actually determine the viral contaminants. The strategy developed is simple. It mainly focuses on the possible viral contaminant of the source material being used. Also it does not include newly discovered or unknown viral contaminants. Current viral assays falls into 3 categories. 1. Immunoassays 2. Assays based on viral DNA probes
