Assay for ergometrine. Proceed as directed in the N.F. assay for ergo-met rine under Ergot. Express the concentration of ergometrine as mg of ergometrine maleate in each ml of Liquid Extract of Ergot. 

The acid maleate of an alkaloid obtained from ergot. It is officially assayed by the colorimetric method, given under Ergot, against a standard solution of ergometrine maleate. It can also be determined by the U,S,P. method. 

Prepare a standard solution containing 10 //g per ml of ergometrine maleate in 0 2 per cent tartaric acid. 

Injection of Ergometrine Maleate, B,P. A sterile solution of ergo-metrine maleate in water for injection it usually contains 0 5 mg in each ml. The official assay is colorimetric but the fluorimetric method is preferable. 

Dilute the sample in 0 2 per cent tartaric acid to contain about 10 ywg per ml of ergometrine maleate. Prepare a standard solution containing 10 //g per ml of ergometrine maleate in 0-2 per cent tartaric acid. Proceed as described under Ergometrine Maleate (above) commencing with the words Pipette duplicate aliquots, each of 5 ml,. . . and calculate the ergometrine content of the injection. 

The tartrate of an alkaloid obtainable from certain species of ergot. It is assayed colorimetrically by the dimethylaminobenzaldehyde method given under Ergot after solution in 1 per cent tartaric acid against a standard ergometrine maleate solution. 1 mg of ergometrine maleate = 1 488 mg of ergotamine tartrate.
