Assay—
Proceed as directed for amphotericin B under Antibiotics—Microbial Assays 81, quantitatively dissolving a suitable accurately measured volume of Lotion in sufficient dimethyl sulfoxide to give a convenient concentration. Quantitatively dilute an accurately measured volume of this solution with dimethyl sulfoxide to obtain a stock solution having a concentration of about 20 µg of amphotericin B per mL. Quantitatively dilute an accurately measured volume of this stock solution with Buffer No. 10 to obtain a Test Dilution having a concentration assumed to be equal to the median dose level of the Standard.
