Testing for high-risk types of human papillomaviruses (HPV) has become an important part of cervical cancer screening programs as it is well known that persistent high-risk HPV infections significantly increases the risk of CIN2+ formation1. However, if high risk HPV types with different carcinogenic potential are grouped together in HPV tests, this may result in a significant loss of clinical specificity. Genotyping is therefore indispensable for the actual detection of persistent carcinogenic high-risk HPV types and thus a decisive prerequisite for risk-based patient management 2.
The use of HPV genotyping in screening programs not only achieves improved risk-based management for cervical cancer prevention, but also serves a targeted monitoring of HPV vaccination programs 3,4.
PapilloCheck® was subjected to the clinical suitability study of VALGENT specifically established for HPV genotyping assays as part of the Valgent program. The results support the use of PapilloCheck® in cervical cancer screening programs 5.
The HPV test PapilloCheck® is an in vitro diagnostic (CE-IVD) for the qualitative detection and genotyping of 24 pathogenic HPV types (18 high-risk and 6 low-risk) in human cervical smears.
The PapilloCheck® test system is based on the detection and identification of a fragment of the viral E1 gene using a DNA microarray and allows the simultaneous analysis of 12 cervical samples.

BACKGROUND: Cervical screening detects precancerous cells and routine screening could be improved by testing for Human Papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes cervical cancer. HPV infection is common and the benefit of HPV testing would be identification of women who are HPV negative and at low risk of developing cancer. STUDY DESIGN: The aim of this study was to evaluate the Greiner Bio-One PapilloCheck® micro-array assay (PapilloCheck® ) for detection of HPV in comparison with Hybrid Capture II (hc2) and PCR-enzyme immunoassay (PCR-EIA) using the GP5/6+ primers. RESULTS: Samples from a cytologically defined population (n=878) were analysed and 187 samples also had histology information. Overall, 674 out of 878 samples gave a consistent result (76.8%; 95% CI 73.83-79.52%) on all three platforms. The genotype results obtained by PapilloCheck® and PCR-EIA were compared and 94% were consistent (95% CI 92.1-96.4%). The main difference was the poor Kappa agreement for detection of high risk (HR) type 35 (Kappa=0.190) with all inconsistent results being HR positive by PCR-EIA assay but negative on the PapilloCheck® platform. There was no statistically significant difference between the performance of each assay when HR HPV positive samples were linked with clinical result (cytology and histology grade). PapilloCheck® detected the highest number of HR HPV infections in samples with histology confirmed as CIN1, CIN2 and CIN3 (76.6%, 85% and 91.7%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, PapilloCheck® proved to be a sensitive, reproducible, robust molecular assay for HPV genotyping with the potential for high throughput of specimens in a clinical setting.

The novel PapilloCheck® genotyping test was compared with SPF10 PCR LiPav1 and PGMY09/11 on hybrid capture 2 (HC2)- pretested samples. From results of 826 cervical samples detection rates and kappa values for the tests were calculated using a HPV type consensus definition. With PapilloCheck® HPV types 53, 56 and 33 were found with a sensitivity of 100%. The lowest detection rate was observed for HPV 35 (72.2%). The SPF10 PCR LiPav1 was found to be 100% positive for HPV 18, 31, 53, 56 and 35 and lowest for HPV 59 (81%). The PGMY09/11 system detected only HPV 59 at 100% detection rate and showed lowest sensitivity for HPV 56 (40.5%). Multiple infection rates ranged from 25.8% (PGMY09/11 PCR-LBA), over 39.5% (PapilloCheck® ) to 55.9% (SPF10 PCR LiPav1). In samples with higher viral DNA load detection rates and concordance between the genotyping tests increases. The kappa values in comparison to the HPV consensus type ranged from k=0.21 to k=0.82 for comparing SPF10 PCR with the HPV consensus type, while values for PGMY09/11 PCR ranged from k=0 to k=0.96 and were best for the PapilloCheck® (k=0.49-0.98). Detection rates for the identification of high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) ranged from 93.7% (PGMY09/11 PCR) to 98.4% (PapilloCheck® , SPF10 PCR, HC2). In conclusion, this study shows that the PapilloCheck® gives comparable results to established PCR methods. However, these results also show a necessity for the standardization of genotype-specific HPV detection assays.
The Inspect™ product line of Greiner Bio-One has been specifically developed for quality control in the biopharmaceutical industry to ensure the absence of any adventitious agents such as mycoplasmas and viruses in cell-culture based manufacturing processes.
CytoInspect is a DNA based microarray test system that is used for the detection and identification of mycoplasmas in cell culture by biopharmaceutical customers since 2006.
Thus, Greiner Bio-One has gained extensive experiences and a thorough understanding of both user demands and regulatory requirements in the quality control of manufacturing processes.

ViroInspect® is a are rapid, highly sensitive and highly specific testing systems with integrated quality controls for the detection of viral contamination in cell cultures.
© R. Rosengarten, Mycosafe Diagnostics GmbH
CytoInspect™ is based on DNA microarray technology and enables the detection of all mycoplasma species, including the genera Acholeplasma, Spiroplasma and Ureaplasma. Additionally, 41 of the most important and most frequent mycoplasma pathogens can be clearly identified at species level (Table 1).
With results delivered in 5 hours, CytoInspect™ is a rapid and effective detection method compared to culture-based mycoplasma assays. Fast results mean that a contamination problem can be rapidly assessed and action can be taken, saving both time and money.
"In the GMP field, the CytoInspect™ from Greiner Bio-One for Mycoplasma testing is – in our experience – one of the best and most reliable test kits on the market. Manual processing of the samples is easy, evaluation is achieved automatically and results are quickly generated, which allow, in case of a positive mycoplasma finding, even the identification of the species.
In addition to that, the customer service is also particularly noteworthy: questions are answered immediately, cooperatively and in a highly professional way. In the GMP area, such a competent service is rarely found. We are more than satisfied to have established this technique in our laboratory and can offer it to our customers."

Mycoplasma belong to the class of Mollicutes and represent one of the most frequent contaminants of cell substrates and cell-derived biological products. Mycoplasma contamination during biopharmaceutical manufacture is a significant threat to the production of high-quality biotechnological products and can comprise product safety. Further potential consequences of a mycoplasma contamination include a possible production shut-down and product loss, which subsequently can result in a regulatory and financial impact.
CytoInspect™ allows besides the possibility of a general mycoplasma detection via a universal probe, also the identification of 41 mycoplasma species. In case of a mycoplasma positive result, this benefit assists in determining the root-cause of the contamination and in specifying the entry point or source, which is the key to prevent from further spreading of the infection in the production process.
Early and reliable mycoplasma detection and identification with CytoInspect™ enables users to define appropriate corrective and preventive actions and therefore to follow an efficient, fast and safe contamination response plan.
Mycoplasma contamination is a serious problem in cell culture. Detailed investigations on the identity of the contaminating species showed that by far the largest portion of infections is caused by a relatively small number of mycoplasma and acholeplasma species: 90 – 95% of the contaminants were identified as either M. orale, M. hyorhinis, M. arginini, M. fermentans, M. hominis or A. laidlawii (Drexler and Uphoff, 2002).
Because the largest percentage of mycoplasma found in cell cultures are of human origin, one may assume that laboratory personnel is one of the major sources of contamination. Mycoplasmas are rapidly spread by using laboratory equipment, media, or reagents that have been contaminated by previous use in processing mycoplasma-infected cells
We have the ability to offer a fast and reliable detection of mycoplasma contaminations in biological materials such as cells and cell culture supernatants, with accurate species identification to facilitate resolution of some prevailing mycoplasma contamination issues. In addition to the species identification of nine of the most common contaminants (table 1), a Yes/No detection of all mycoplasma species is also included.
Viral safety is a critical part of biological products throughout their development and their commercial release. Viral contamination can become a safety risk for patients having financial burdens on biopharmaceutical companies.
ViroInspect® is a rapid, highly sensitive and highly specific testing system for the usage in quality control of biopharmaceutical companies.
As >80 % of biopharmaceutical production is performed in rodent cells, the Rodent product line focuses on viruses, of which rodents are the natural host.
ViroInspect® Rodent 1 allows the detection and the identification of Rodent Parvoviruses 1, Porcine Circoviruses 1/2, Vesivirus 2117 and related isolates in biological materials such as cell culture samples.
Additionally, the ViroInspect® Rodent 2 enables the detection and identification of Rodent Calici-, Corona-, Paramyxo-, Picorna- and Reoviruses.

Abstract
The revised section of the European, United States, and Japan Pharmacopeias on mycoplasma testing provided guidance for the set up and validation of a nucleic acid amplification technique (NAT) as an alternative method to agar culture and indicator cell culture compendial methods. The CytoInspect™ method, based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) coupled to microarray analysis, has been selected for detection and identification of mycoplasma in vaccines. To replace compendial methods, the alternative method must demonstrate equivalence in both limit of detection (LOD) and specificity compared with compendial methods.
Here, we summarize the validation of the CytoInspect™ method according to current pharmacopeia requirements. Validation of the robustness, sensitivity (at least 10 colony forming units/ml) and specificity of the CytoInspect™ method are demonstrated. Likewise, a comparability study was performed to compare the LOD for CytoInspect™ compared with the previously validated LOD for compendial culture tests.
