Assay for neomycin—
Proceed as directed for neomycin under Antibiotics—Microbial Assays 81, blending an accurately measured volume of Lotion for 3 to 5 minutes in a high-speed glass blender jar containing an accurately measured volume of Buffer No. 3. Dilute an accurately measured volume of the solution so obtained quantitatively and stepwise with Buffer No. 3 to obtain a Test Dilution having a concentration of neomycin assumed to be equal to the median dose level of the Standard.
