Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Before and after each renewal, two aliquots of 5 mL were taken in each group containing the test item and in the stock solution.
These aliquots were stored at approximately -16°C (deep frozen) and transferred to ICP-AES unit at the end of test to be analysed for chromium and barium contents determination.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- TEST SOLUTION PREPARATION
As the test item is not soluble in water, the stock solutions was prepared by stirring an excess amount of the test item (100 mg/L) in test medium for up to 24 hours. Then after a filtration (0.22 µm), the aqueous phase (corresponding to the limit of solubility/saturation under our experimental conditions (LS)) was collected and used as a stock solution.
Filtration on filter 0.22 µm was chosen because the certificate of analysis indicates that 50% of the particles constituting the test item are < 0.43 µm.
Test solutions was prepared by further dilution of the stock solution with test medium. For the second definitive test each test solution was prepared by dilution by tow from the higher test solution.
Test vessels were filled directly from the test solution containers after preparation.
The solutions were renewed after 24 hours of exposure.
The pH range considered as appropriate for a normal life of test organisms is circa 6 to 9.
So the pH of the stock solution was measured. The pH of the stock solution was in this range (8,04).

- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Concentrations are expressed in chromite de cuivre by calculation with chromium concentration. The chromium concentration is used because it is the lowest test item concentration (with Cr content calculation from CoA); therefore, it is the worst determination for toxicity test.
