Analytical sub-samples of 1000 µL of the aqueous test medium were mixed together with 250 µL methanol directly into 1.8mL screw top vials. After tightly closing and vigorous manual shaking, 20 µL of the mixture was analysed directly by LC-MS/MS. Where necessary, sample aliquots less than 1000 µL were filled up to 1000 µL with 'holding- and dilution water' in a pre-dilution step. - Vehicle:

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: A stock solution was prepared by weighing 20 mg of the test substance onto a Teflon plate that was then put into 2 L of dilution water. The substance was dissolved by stirring at 100 rpm for 24 hours as stated in the study plan. This formed the stock solution and highest test concentration. The remaining test concentrations were then prepared by adding aliquots of 280, 155, 85, and 50 mL (in order from highest to lowest concentration) to dilution water at a final volume of 500 mL.

Adult Daphnia, at least 3 weeks old, were separated from the stock population by sieving. Batches of 30 - 50 animals were held at room temperature in ca. 1.8 L of dilution water for one week. During this week, the daphnids were fed daily with an algal suspension (Desmodesmus subspicatus) and LiquizellR (HOBBY). Algae growing in the log-phase were centrifuged and the pellet was re-suspended in a few mL of medium. Thirty millilitres of this suspension was added to 1 L of medium. The water was changed once per week. Newborn Daphnia (between 4 - 24 h old) were removed by wide-bore pipette (to avoid damage) and isolated in fresh dilution water for at least 1 h prior to being added randomly to the test vessels containing the appropriate test or control media.

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: Purified local tap water was used in accordance with the OECD guideline. The tap water is sourced from the Schmallenberg district water production plants, mostly fed by small springs and percolation. The purification process occurs on site at Fraunhofer IME and includes filtration with activated charcoal, passage through a lime-stone column, and aeration to the point of oxygen saturation. To reduce copper contamination (as copper is toxic to aquatic organisms), plastic water pipes are used in the test facilities.

- Executive summary:
At the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology, the influence of the test substance on immobilisation of Daphnia magna was investigated, according to OECD Guideline 202 and EU Method C.2 with GLP statement. Daphnia were exposed under static conditions to the test item for 48 hours.
Based on the results of a pre-test, five nominal loadings and a control were tested: 1.0, 1.7, 3.1, 5.6, and 10.0 mg/L. The test solutions were prepared by directly dissolving the test substance off of a Teflon plate in dilution water by stirring for 24 hours. The test substance was measured in the freshly prepared test solutions at test start and in the aged test media after 48 h at test end (LOQ 100 µg/L).
Measured concentrations of the test substance at test start were within the range of 61.5 – 65.0% of the nominal loadings. By test end (48 h), the measured recovery range of all test concentrations was 42.9 – 47.4% of the nominal loadings (66 – 74% of the initial concentration at test start). As the recovery of the test substance was outside the range of 80 - 120 % of the nominal values, the geometric mean for each test concentration was calculated and used for the evaluation of the acute immobilisation test. The geometric mean measured concentrations were 0.60, 0.90, 1.68, 2.99, and 5.28 mg/L, respectively.
Effects on immobilisation were determined after 24 and 48 hours. After 48 hours, the percent immobilisation was 0, 0, 65, 100 and 100% at the respective concentrations of 0.60, 0.90, 1.68, 2.99 and 5.28 mg/L. The EC50was 1.60 mg/L. The highest concentration without observed effect after 48 hours was 0.90 mg/L.

Additional information
One key study is available to assess the short-term toxicity of the registered substance to aquatic invertebrates, Daphnia magna. This study was performed according to OECD Guideline 202 and EU Method C.2 with GLP compliance under static conditions for 48 hours.
Based on the results of a pre-test, five nominal loadings of the registered substance and a control were tested: 1.0, 1.7, 3.1, 5.6, and 10.0 mg/L. The test substance was measured in the freshly prepared test solutions at test start and in the aged test media after 48 h at test end (LOQ 100 µg/L). Measured concentrations of the test substance at test start were within the range of 61.5 – 65.0% of the nominal loadings. By test end (48 h), the measured recovery range of all test concentrations was 42.9 – 47.4% of the nominal loadings (66 – 74% of the initial concentration at test start). As the recovery of the test substance was outside the range of 80 - 120 % of the nominal values, the geometric mean for each test concentration was calculated and used for the evaluation of the acute immobilisation test. The geometric mean measured concentrations were 0.60, 0.90, 1.68, 2.99, and 5.28 mg/L, respectively. Effects on immobilisation were determined after 24 and 48 hours. After 48 hours, the percent immobilisation was 0, 0, 65, 100 and 100% at the respective concentrations of 0.60, 0.90, 1.68, 2.99 and 5.28 mg/L. Therefore, the 48 hours EC50was 1.60 mg/L (95% CL could not be determined) and the highest concentration without observed effect after 48 hours was 0.90 mg/L, based on geometric mean measured concentrations.
