A microbiological assay applying the cylinder-plate method is described for determination of the activity of cefoxitin sodium in injectables. Using a strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12226 as the test organism, cefoxitin sodium was measured in concentrations ranging from 50.0 to 200.0 microg/mL. The validation showed that the method was linear (r = 0.9998), precise (RSD = 0.81%), and accurate. It was concluded that the microbiological assay is satisfactory for quantitation of cefoxitin sodium in injectables.
描述了一种采用圆筒平板法的微生物测定法,用于测定注射用头孢西丁钠的活性。以表皮葡萄球菌ATCC 12226菌株作为测试菌,测定头孢西丁钠的浓度范围为50.0至200.0微克/毫升。验证表明该方法具有线性(r = 0.9998)、精密度(RSD = 0.81%)和准确性。得出结论,该微生物测定法可用于注射用头孢西丁钠的定量分析,结果令人满意。
