Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Determination of the test item
The saturated solution and the control were analytically verified via HPLC-DAD in the fresh media at the start of the exposure (0 hours) and in the old media at the end of the exposure (48 hours).The method was validated prior to this study according to SANCO 3029/99 rev.4 (2000).
Sampling for the analytical monitoring
At the start of the exposure (0 hours), samples were taken after preparation of the saturated solution and analyzed.
At the end of the exposure (48 hours), samples for the analyses of the old media were taken directly from test replicates containing daphnids.
Criteria for the analytical monitoring (target)
Recoveries of the test item should be within ± 20% of the nominal or initially measured concentrations.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Limit loading level
A saturated solution with a nominal loading of 100 mg/L of the test item was tested in a limit test. The limit loading level was selected based on the results of a non-GLP preliminary range finding test.
Preparation of the saturated solution
A saturated solution (100 mg/L test item were weighed out) was prepared with dilution water one day before the start of the exposure (at day -1).
The test item was mixed with the dilution water by constant stirring with a magnetic stirrer at approximately 1100 rpm for 24 hours at room temperature. After completion of stirring, undissolved particles were removed by membrane filtration (membrane filter 0.45 µm, RC, MACHEREY-NAGEL). The filter was saturated in order to avoid adsorption during the filtration. The first 25 mL of the filtrate were discarded. The filtration was interrupted for 15 minutes to allow adsorption and saturation of the filter material with dissolved test item. Thereafter, the filtration was continued. The next 25 mL were discarded. The following filtrate, i.e. the saturated solution, was tested in a limit test. During filtration, the filter was always kept covered.
The saturated solution was checked via laser beam (Tyndall effect) for undissolved test item. The Tyndall effect was negative.
Control

Number of daphnids and replicates
20 daphnids, divided into 4 replicates, each with 5 daphnids, were used for the the limit concentration and the control.

The juveniles born within the following period of max. 24 hours preceding the exposure were used for the test. No first brood progeny was used for the test.

- Methods of evaluation
The EC10 / 50 / 100-values and the EL10 / 50 / 100-values after 24 and 48 hours were empirically derived from the observation data. The effect levels were based on the nominal loading and the geometric mean measured concentration of the test item Disperse Yellow 71.
EC-values and statistical analyses for reference item
An EC50-value was calculated for the reference item by sigmoidal dose-response regression from the best-fit values with the software GraphPad Prism. The respective 95 % confidence limits for the EC50 were empirically derived from the observation data as follows: The highest concentration level without any effect (EC0) and the lowest concentration level causing 100% immobilization (EC100) were used as 95% confidence limits, since calculation was not possible by the software.
Software
All data were computer-processed and rounded for presentation. Consequently, minor variations may occur from the original figures if manual calculations based on the original figures are made subsequently. Calculations were made using the following software:
