(b) Tests and methods of assay-(1) Cefotiam potency and content. Determine both micrograms of cefotiam per milligram of sample and milligrams of cefotiam per container. Proceed as directed in §442.58a(b)(1), preparing the sample solutions and calculating the potency and content as follows:

(i) Preparation of sample solutions. Use separate containers for preparation of each sample solution as described in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) (A) and (B) of this section.

(A) Cefotiam potency (micrograms of cefotiam per milligram). Dissolve an accurately weighed sample with sufficient distilled water to obtain a solution containing approximately 1,000 micrograms of cefotiam per milliliter. Further dilute this solution with mobile phase to obtain a solution containing 50 micrograms of cefotiam activity per milliliter (estimated).

(B) Cefotiam content (milligrams of cefotiam per vial). Reconstitute the sample as directed in the labeling. Then, using a suitable hypodermic needle and syringe, remove all of the withdrawable contents if it is represented as a single-dose container; or, if the labeling specifies the amount of potency in a given volume of the resultant preparation, remove an accurately measured representative portion from each container. Dilute the solution thus obtained with sufficient distilled water to obtain a solution containing 1,000 micrograms of cefotiam activity per milliliter (estimated). Further dilute this solution with mobile phase to obtain a solution containing 50 micrograms of cefotiam activity per milliliter (estimated).
