- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: the test loading was prepared by applying the Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) approach according to the OECD guidance documents No. 23
- Eluate: 200 mg test item were transferred into a 2 L sterile glass flask with a drain port at the bottom via a Teflon weighing boat.
The flask was brought to a volume of about 2 L with sterile growth medium to obtain the required nominal loading of 100 mg/L. The test media was stirred slowly to prevent bubble, foam or emulsion formation using a star shape magnetic stirring bar for at least 48 h at room temperature (~20°C).
After stirring the vessel was left to settle for at least 2 hours or until a separation of the phases could be observed. Then the saturated lower aqueous phase was taken out of the drain port. The first fraction 0 - 200 mL was discarded. The eluate was checked for irregularities such as foam formation and the clear eluate was used for the growth tests. All work was conducted under sterile conditions (clean bench) using sterile equipment.

- Normal distribution (Shapiro-Wilk’s Test) and variance homogeneity (Levene’s test) requirements were fulfilled. Thus, a parametric multiple test was advisable. The Student-t test for Homogenous Variances was chosen to test the difference concentration. Growth rate and yield of the treatment not significantly different from control (p < 0.05).
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- No growth inhibition could be observed for P. subcapitata due to the test item within a test period of 72 hours under static conditions at a concentration of 100 mg/L. The NOEL values for both growth rate and yield are reported as equal to or higher than 100 mg/L and the EL50 values were not calculated as inhibition for both growth rate and yield was less than 50 % compared to controls (EL50 > 100 mg/L).
- Executive summary:
A limit test was performed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology (IME) to determine the toxicity of the test item Isostearyl neopentanoate on the growth of the unicellular fresh water green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata.The algae were exposed under static conditions for a test period of 72 hours in accordance with the OECD guideline 201. Eight replicates were used for the control (test medium only) and eight replicates for the test loading.
The test item was prepared as eluate with sterilised OECD 201 growth medium by applying the Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) approach according to the OECD guidance documents No. 23. The one nominal loading tested was 100 mg/L. The test item concentration of the UVCB was not analytically verified and thus the assessment was based on the nominal loading.
There was no negative loading-dependent effect on the growth (yield or growth rate) of P. subcapitata. The ErC50 was equal to or higher than 100 mg/L loading.

Additional information
A limit test was performed to determine the toxicity of the test item Isooctadecyl pivalate (CAS 58958-60-4) on the growth of the unicellular fresh water green algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The algae were exposed under static conditions for a test period of 72 hours in accordance with the OECD guideline 201 (GLP). Eight replicates were used for the control (test medium only) and the test loading.
The test item was prepared as eluate with sterilised OECD 201 growth medium by applying the Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) approach according to the OECD guidance documents No. 23. The one nominal loading tested was 100 mg/L. The test item concentration of the UVCB was not analytically verified and thus the assessment was based on the nominal loading.
There was no negative loading-dependent effect on the growth (yield or growth rate) of P. subcapitata. The ErL50 (72 h) was > 100 mg/L and the NOELR (72 h) was derived to be ≥ 100 mg/L.
