Difference between mix-up and cross-contamination

Answer Posted / dr pankaj kumar jain

Contamination is an English word which means presence of undesirable elements or matter. Contamination is of 2 types, self and cross. Self means product has been contaminated by product related impurities like different molecular weight impurities or different charge variants. Whereas cross means product has come in contact with foreign matter or particle, like bacterial or different product residues.
All together it's called Mixup.
