Abstract: There is disclosed a process for the in-vial deposition of 7-(dimethylaminomethylene)amino-9a-methoxymitosane in sterile unit dosage form. A solution of this compound is introduced into a sterile vial in a solution of tertiary-butanol. The tertiary-butanol is then removed, e.g., by evaporation or lyophilization, and the vial is closed by appropriate means. The thus deposited material can contain up to 0.5 mole equivalent of tertiary-butanol as a hemi-solvate and is very stable to heat.

Abstract: A pad dispenser for moistened treatment pads includes a wide mouth container and a pad elevator which is receivable within the container. The pad elevator has a generally planar pad support platform to whose periphery are joined a plurality of spaced, resilient collets. A generally vertically directed grasping stem is formed in the middle of the platform. A plurality of treatment pads or disks are positionable in a generally on edge array on the pad elevator's platform. Access to these pads is afforded by raising of the pad elevator within the container. Once raised, the pad elevator will be maintained in its elevated position by a sliding interference fit between the elevator collets and the container sidewall.
