Details
Public Health England (PHE) has undertaken assessments of inactivation methods against SARS-CoV-2.
Included here are a series of individual interim inactivation reports with further evaluations ongoing.
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 are now published by UK Health Security Agency.
