Trusted UK Laboratory for ISO Standard Microbiology Testing

Virology Testing

Testing products for viral reduction and inactivation in compliance with EN standards.

Virology Testing Services

Orion Microbiology provides targeted virology testing to support product development, performance validation, regulatory submissions, and bespoke research. Our virology work focuses on non-highly pathogenic viruses, delivered with the same scientific rigor and quality controls applied across our wider microbiology services.

ISO-Aligned Testing and Quality

All virology testing is conducted using ISO-aligned laboratory practices, including controlled methodologies, documented procedures, defined acceptance criteria, and full data traceability. Methods are selected from recognised international standards where available or scientifically validated in-house to ensure results are accurate, reproducible, and defensible.

 

Our data is suitable for performance claims, internal R&D, benchmarking, and technical documentation.

Virology Testing Capabilities

We offer a flexible range of virology testing services, including:

 

  • Antiviral efficacy testing to assess viral reduction over defined contact times

 

  • Surface, material, and textile antiviral performance evaluation
  • Viral recovery under specified conditions

 

  • Method development and adaptation for novel products or matrices

 

Testing strategies are tailored to your product type, intended use, and data requirements.

Bespoke Virology Analysis

In addition to standard testing, Orion Microbiology specialises in bespoke virology analysis. We work closely with clients to design custom studies, develop tailored methods, and provide clear scientific interpretation. This is ideal for innovative technologies, non-standard test conditions, or research-driven projects and forms part of our broader Contract and Bespoke Research offering.

Our Approach

Projects begin with a technical consultation, followed by method selection or development, clear sample guidance, controlled laboratory testing, and concise reporting. Our process is designed to be efficient, transparent, and scientifically robust. Further details are available in the Our Process section.
