achieved, formaldehyde or a heat treatment is immediately added/applied to
each test tube to inhibit additional microbial growth prior to absorbance reading
and use of the UV-VIS. The absorbance or transmittance is read ad 580 nm or
530 nm.
USP <81> states the following criteria for both the Plate and Tube Methods: 1)
The calculated potency of the test antibiotic [U3] must be 80% to 125% of the
median reference standard [S3] 2) Relative standard deviation for all
measured and calculated data is NMT 10% and 3) Testing is performed in
triplicate over a period of three independent test runs. The Tube Method
further states: The percentage coefficient of determinations (%R2) for each
standard curve will be NLT 90% (i.e. correlation coefficient of NLT 0.950) and
2) Absorbance values of the media reference standard [S3] are predetermined
per antibiotic. Refer USP <81> for testing parameters and acceptable data
requirements.
Diagram 7 below summarizes the operations prior, during and after testing
using the Tube Method (Hewitt and Vincent 1989).
