Assay—
Proceed as directed for novobiocin under Antibiotics—Microbial Assays 81, expelling the contents of a syringe of Intramammary Infusion into a high-speed blender jar containing 1.0 mL of polysorbate 80 and 499.0 mL of Buffer No. 3, and blend for 3 to 5 minutes. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, and dilute quantitatively and stepwise with Buffer No. 6 to obtain a Test Dilution having a concentration of novobiocin assumed to be equal to the median dose level of the Standard.
