Reference
The concentration of the test item was analytically verified via HPLC-DAD at the start of the expsure (0 h) and at the end of the exposure (48 h) in the limit concentration and in the control.
The measured concentration in the limit concentration was 104% of the nominal value at the start of the exposure (0 h) and 99% of the nominal value at the end of the exposure (48 h). The measured test item concentrations were within ± 20% of the nominal concentration. This indicates that the test item concentration was successfully maintained for the duration of the test.

Additional information
There is one GLP guideline study available, which assessed the effects of the substance towards aquatic invertebrates according to the OECD guideline 202. In a static test Daphnia magna was exposed to a nominal limit concentration of 100 mg/L for 48 h. The limit concentration was previously established in a preliminary range-finding test. The concentration of the test item was analytically verified by HPLC-DAD analysis at the start of the exposure (0 h) and at the end of the exposure (48 h). The measured concentration was 104% of the nominal values at the start of the exposure (0 h) and 99% of the nominal value at the end of the exposure (48 h). The measured test item concentrations were within ± 20% of the nominal concentration. This indicates that the test item concentration was successfully maintained for the duration of the test and the effect concentrations can be based on the nominal values. After 48 h no effects on Daphnia magna were observed. The EC50 (48 h) value was > 100 mg/L (nominal).
