✦ Synopsis
The development of new virus inactivation procedures has become an area of growing interest mainly due to increased demands concerning the safety of biological products. Photochemical processes represent the most promising methods for the future to inactivate viruses. In these methods, dyes are the most widely used photosensitising reagents. The current article covers a new interesting alternative, namely the use of buckminsterfullerene (C 60 ). The unique properties of this molecule make it a valid candidate for future applications in the inactivation of viruses in biological fluids.
