Assay for chlortetracycline hydrochloride—
Proceed as directed for chlortetracycline under Antibiotics—Microbial Assays 81, using an accurately weighed quantity of Powder, equivalent to about 100 mg of chlortetracycline hydrochloride, dissolved in an accurately measured volume of 0.01 N hydrochloric acid to obtain a stock solution having a convenient concentration. Dilute an accurately measured volume of this stock solution quantitatively and stepwise with water to obtain a Test Dilution having a concentration assumed to be equal to the median dose level of the Standard.
