no

Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: 0.5917 g of the test substance was weighed with the electronic balance. A stock solution was prepared by mixing the test substance with the dilution water to a volume of 100 mL and then stirred for 48 h with a magnetic stirrer at 23 ± 1 °C. The test solution of 100 mg/L was prepared by diluting the whole volume of the stock solution with the dilution water to make 5 L.
- Eluate: no
- Differential loading: no
- Controls: yes, test medium control
