DIVISION III TAKING AND ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES

26. The homogeneous distribution of the substances covered by section 8 or 20 in a medicinal premix or a medicinal food is shown by the calculation of the coefficient of variation of the concentration of one of the substances in several parts of the medicinal premix or the medicinal food from the results of analysis of 9 samples taken from the medicinal premix or the medicinal food using the method described in this Division.

O.C. 728-87, s. 26.

27. The coefficient of variation is the proportion that the standard deviation of the concentration of one of the substances in the medicinal premix or the medicinal food in each of the 9 samples of the premix or the food is of the average concentration of the substance in the 9 samples, expressed as a percentage and illustrated by the following formula:

C.V. = S × 100

—

X

where C.V. = the coefficient of variation

S = the standard deviation of the concentration

and X = the average concentration.

O.C. 728-87, s. 27.

28. In the case of a medicinal premix, the 9 samples of not less than 100 g per sample shall be taken from a volume of medicinal premix corresponding to the maximum capacity of the mixer, at the level of the first opening available after mixing in the following manner:
