ABSTRACT:
Fluids, such as protein-containing biological fluids, particularly plasma, may be effectively decontaminated by treatment with ultrasonic energy alone or in conjunction with either ozone or UV radiation. Suitable apparatus for decontaminating protein-containing biological fluids with such methods are disclosed.
