In an effort to develop an improved method for detecting and quantitating microorganisms in petrolatumbased ointments, Sokolski and
( 5 ) used a procedure* Using aseptic technique, the ointments were first dissolved in isopropyl myristate and then filtered through bacterial-retentive membrane filters. The membranes were washed with special solutions to rid them from as much antibiotic activity as possible, and then they were transferred to absorbant Dads in Petri dishes containing nutrient medium.

Technetium-99m generators were grossly contaminted using 5 different strains of microorganisms. Elution of the generators showed that the number of microorganisms was reduced by a factor of 10(4)-10(6). There were no indications that the generators would support bacterial growth. It is concluded tha
