A method of crystallizing (1R,5S,6S)-2-[(6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]triazolium-6-yl)]t hio-6-[(R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-1-methyl-carbapenem-3-carboxylate (hereinafter simply referred to as L-627), which is characterized by maintaining an aqueous solution of L-627 at temperatures ranging from the eutectic temperature of the solution to temperatures lower than 0 DEG C. The method provides some advantages that loss of L-627 accompanied by crystallization is less, number of steps in the preparation of vial formulations is less and maintenance of these steps under sterile and dust-free conditions can be performed easily, dispensation of the drug can be conducted with quantitative accuracy, and the crystals dissolve in a solvent promptly at the time of use.
