A method of inactivating microorganisms such as viruses within a fluid such as a biological fluid is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a UV reactor, which may take the form of an elongated generally annular reaction chamber surrounding at least one elongated UV lamp, moving the fluid within the reaction chamber in a primary flow directed along the length of the UV lamp, and inducing a circulating secondary flow within the fluid with the secondary flow being superimposed on the primary flow. As the fluid moves through the reaction chamber in the primary flow, it is circulated repeatedly toward and away from the UV lamp in the circulating secondary flow to provide uniform and controllable exposure of the entire volume of fluid to ultraviolet radiation. Microorganisms such as viruses are thus inactivated while desirable components in the fluid, such as proteins, are preserved without the use of a free radical scavenger.

The invention relates to viral formulations and related pharmaceutical products for use in gene therapy and / or vaccine applications. Especially preferred viral formulations disclosed herein are liquid adenovirus formulations, which show improved stability when stored in about the 2-8° C. range while also being compatible with parenteral administration. These formulations comprise a buffer, a sugar, a salt, a divalent cation, a non-ionic detergent, as well as a free radical scavenger and / or a chelating agent to inhibit free radical oxidation.

Disclosed is a combination of hydrofluoroolefins and / or hydrochlorofluoroolefins with stabilizers wherein the stabilizers minimize the degradation of the hydrofluoroolefins and hydrochlorofluoroolefins during storage, handling and use yet allow for atmospheric degradation. The combinations exhibit low or zero ozone depletion potential and lower global warming potential making them of interest as replacements for chlorofluorocarbons and hydrfluorocarbons. The combinations of the present invention comprise hydrofluoroolefins and / or hydrochlorofluoroolefins in combination with a stabilizer or stabilizers selected from free radical scavengers, acid scavengers, oxygen scavengers, polymerization inhibitors and combinations thereof.

A biodegradable polymer composition having good resistance to thermal decomposition, wherein it is possible to control the weight-average molecular weight to within 30% of the initial molecular weight after molding and radiation sterilization, by adding a free radical scavenger to the biodegradable polymer.Biodegradable polymer compositions of the invention, which withstand thermal and radiation decomposition are effective for medical and many industrial uses. Moreover, this inventive method is applicable for the treatment of many non-biodegradable polymers such as nylon or polypropylene which are subjected to thermal casting and radiation sterilization.
