Assay
Saline phosphate buffer and Mercuric chloride solution—Prepare as directed in the Assay under Benzylpenicilloyl Polylysine Concentrate.
Assay preparation— Combine the contents of a sufficient number of containers to obtain not less than 3 mL of Injection. Transfer 3.0 mL of Injection to a 10-mL volumetric flask, dilute with Saline phosphate buffer to volume, and mix.
Procedure— Proceed as directed for Procedure in the Assay under Benzylpenicilloyl Polylysine Concentrate. Calculate the molar concentration of benzylpenicilloyl moiety in the Injection taken by the formula:
(10 / 3){[Am(3 + 0.02n) / 3] Ai} / 22,325b
in which the terms are as defined therein.
Auxiliary Information— Please check for your question in the FAQs before contacting USP.
