Details

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has undertaken assessments of inactivation methods against SARS-CoV-2.

The assessment of each inactivation method is summarised in an individual report.

These reports will be useful for COVID-19 testing laboratories developing workflows that include an inactivation step and will aid the generation of suitable and sufficient risk assessments.

These assessments were previously published by Public Health England.
