As reported in March a study is underway to show the acceptability of the Scott BNR filter as a replacement for the asbestos filter. The 1/4 production size lot of S.A.S. Diurnal Penicillin Readimixed 500M has been manufactured and filled into vials. Stability will now begin. The production size lot of S.A.S. Diurnal Penicillin Readimixed 300M will be made as soon as Sterile Vehicle is available.
