Tratamiento ácido:
Se llevan 34,9 mg de materia prima de Ketotifeno hidrógeno fumarato a 5 ml de HCl 0,1N durante 48 horas a 25°C. Tras este tiempo, se neutraliza con aproximadamente 5 ml de NaOH 0,1N.
I see this translated as "bring to (volume)" in the glossary but I wonder if it is "add to" in this context? Add ketotifen to 5ml HCI O?
TIA for your help/suggestions.

Dissolve 34.9 mg of A in 5 ml of B at 25 °C for 48 hours
As you say "Llevar a" usually means "fill to X ml with solution A", but here, given the context of the whole sentence and the fact that the "materia prima" is a solid (34.9 mg), I think it just means "dissolve in".

Another possibility: "llevar a" is also used for "adjust the pH to X", a typical Spanish phrase being "llevar a un pH de ~X con 5 ml de HCl....". Of course this would mean the original text is missing a few important words so it's not very likely. Either way the objective is to dissolve the solid.

español term (edited):
llevar a materia al ácido durante 48 horas
combine the material and the acid for a duration of 48 hours
1. The problem here is the 48 hours. It does not take 48 hours to add 35 mg of fumarate to 5 mL of dilute acid, and it might be hard to do.
2. Therefore, I think "add" makes little sense. That is why I think "combine" is satisfactory here.
