Ethylene Oxide Solution R2

Ethylene Oxide Solution R2Prepare immediately beforeuse. Weigh 1 g of cold ethylene oxide stock solution (equivalent to 2.5 mg of ethylene oxide) into a cold flask containing 40.0 g of cold polyethylene glycol 200 R1. Mix and determine the exact weight and dilute to a calculated weight to obtain a solution containing 50 µg of ethylene oxide per g of solution. Weigh 10 g into a flask containing about 30 mL of water, mix and dilute to 50 mL with water (10 µg per mL of ethylene oxide).
