Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: water flea
- Strain/clone: Daphnia magna STRAUS Berlin
Selection of the test system was made following the proposal of the guidelines.
- Source: Umweltbundesamt Berlin; In-house breeding since 27. September 2007
- Feeding during test: no
- Food type: unicellular green algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus)
Selection of Daphnia
19.25 hours before the start of the test, the adult animals were separated from the young. 1 hour before test start, the adults were caught with the help of a glass tube, and the new-born Daphnia, aged between 0 and 18.25 hours, were sieved from the medium and immediately placed into a beaker containing dilution water. After the settling-in period, animals which showed no apparent damage were used for the test.
Switching from M4-medium (husbandry) to Dilution water (test) has been shown not to cause any detrimental effects for test Daphnia.

- ECx: 24h-EC50i = 1.6 mg/l
- Other: Potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 (CAS No. 7778-50-9) was used as positive control in a current reference study. The 24h-EC50i value was determined as 1.6 mg/L. The value was within the requested range for the 24h-EC50 between 0.6 - 2.1 mg/L of potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 as specified in the OECD guideline. Since the fits showed sufficient statistical correspondence of the data with the dose-response-equation, this reference study can be considered valid.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The study was conducted under GLP according to OECD guideline 202 and EU method C.2 on the registered substance itself. The method is to be considered scientifically reasonable with no deficiencies in documentation or deviations from the guidelines, the validity criteria were met. Hence, the results can be considered as reliable to assess the toxicity of the test item resp. Sulfobetaines, coco alkyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl) towards daphnids.
The study was performed using 5 concentrations ranging from nominally 0.46 to 10 mg/L of the test item, i.e. an aqueous solution of Sulfobetaines, coco alkyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl), allowing the re-calculation to the solid content, which is the actually registered substance. For each test concentration, 20 Daphnia were exposed to the test item for 48 hours in a static test system. After 24 and 48 hours, the immobilised Daphnia were counted.
The three highest concentrations showed toxicity between 85 and 100% immobilisation. None of the animals was immobilised in the blank control.
Potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 (CAS No. 7778-50-9) was used as positive control in a current reference study to assure that the test conditions are reliable.
At the beginning and at the end of the test, the content of the test item in the test solutions was determined using HPLC-UV -determination. The measured concentrations at the beginning of the test were between 109 and 122% of the nominal concentrations and after 48 hours the measured concentrations were between 115 and 149% of the nominal concentrations.
Therefore, the determination of the biological results was based on the geometric mean of the measured concentration.
No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome. All validity criteria were met.
The result of the test is considered valid.
The measured 48h EC50 of the aqueous solution was determined to be 2.49 mg/L, which corresponds to a 48h EC50 = 1.3695 mg/L of the registered substance, Sulfobetaines, coco alkyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl). Based on the obtained results, Sulfobetaines, coco alkyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl) does not need to be classified as acutely toxic to the environment (limit value for classification as acutely toxic: 1 mg/l), but as it is not biodegradable it should be classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment Cat. 2 (chronic) according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. - Executive summary:
The study was conducted under GLP according to OECD guideline 202 and EU method C.2 on an aqueous solution of the registered substance Sulfobetaines, coco alkyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl).
One valid experiment was performed.
The study was performed using 5 concentrations ranging from nominally 0.46 to 10 mg/L. For each test concentration, 20 Daphnia were exposed to the test item for 48 hours in a static test system. After 24 and 48 hours, the immobilised Daphnia were counted.
The three highest concentrations showed significant toxicity between 85 and 100% immobilisation. None of the animals was immobilised in the blank control.
Potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 (CAS No. 7778-50-9) was used as positive control in a current reference study to assure that the test conditions are reliable.
At the beginning and at the end of the test, the content of the test item in the test solutions was determined using HPLC-UV-determination. The measured concentrations at the beginning of the test were between 109 and 122% of the nominal concentrations and after 48 hours the measured concentrations were between 115 and 149% of the nominal concentrations.
Therefore, the determination of the biological results was based on the geometric mean of the measured concentration.
The following results were determined for the test item Sulfobetaines, coco alkyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl), aqueous solution (species: Daphnia magna).
48h NOEC = 1.33 mg/L
48h LOEC = 2.82 mg/L
24h EC50 = 9.44 mg/L
48h EC50 = 2.49 mg/L
Those values can be re-calculated to the content of the solid Sulfobetaines, coco alkyldimethyl(3-sulfopropyl), giving values of:
48h NOEC = 0.73 mg/L
48h LOEC = 1.55 mg/L
24h EC50 = 5.19 mg/L
48h EC50 = 1.37 mg/L
