15 ml of samples were collected in duplicates from each group during range finding and main study. Results are based on measured concentrations. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Based on the in house dissolution test, the test item was soluble in reconstituted water, therefore no vehicle was necessary for preparation of test item formulation.
Stock solution was freshly prepared prior to exposure, by weighing required quantity of test item in a beaker, a small volume of reconstituted water was added and mixed well using a glass rod. Upon dissolving test item, test formulation was transferred into a measuring cylinder and the beaker was rinsed with reconstituted water and transferred again to the measuring cylinder, rinsing process was repeated until the complete transfer of test contents. Stock solution was kept on a magnetic stirrer to maintain homogeneity. Test medium of chosen concentration was prepared by dilution of stock solution. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Source: in house maintained Daphnia magna purchased from Environmental and Molecular Toxicology Division, Department of Zoology, Karnataka University, Karnataka, India.
- Age of parental stock: young daphnids less than 24 hours old (derived from healthy stock) were selected for the treatment.

Additional information
A study from 1986 on the short-term toxicity potential of Acid Blue 193 to invertebrates was available. Unfotunately, it was not possible to retreive the detailed composition of test sample, thus it cannot be confirmed if the composition was comparable to those currently placed on the market; it's only known that it was a concentrated sample.
The study was run on Daphnia magna following OECD guideline 202, part I (1981). Under test conditions, the substance resulted to be very slightly toxic to daphnids; the EC50 value after the exposure period of 24-hours resulted to be higher than 100 mg/l (nominal).
Due to the uncertainty related to the composition tested, a new test was run. The test item was evaluated for acute toxicity on Daphnia magna as per OECD guideline 202. Daphnids were exposed to test item by aqueous exposure (treatment) under static condition. Daphnids were observed at 24 and 48 hours for signs of toxicity and immobilisation.
Based on the results of the range finding study, main study was conducted at nominal concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 2.4, 5.3, 11.6, 25.5 and 56 mg dyestuff/l of test medium along with control.
No clinical signs of toxicity were observed in control and at 0.5 mg dyestuff/l during the 48 hour observation period.
Clinical signs of localized on bottom of container and lethargy were observed at concentrations of 1.0, 2.4, 5.3, 11.6 and 25.5 mg dyestuff/l during the 24 and 48 hour observation period. Clinical signs of localized on bottom of container and lethargy was observed at 56.0 mg dyestuff/l during the 24 hour observation period; all organisms resulted to be immobilized after 48 hours.
No immobilization was observed in control and at 0.5 mg dyestuff/l during the 48 hour observation period. The Immobilization percentages of 10, 15, 30, 35, 45 and 100 % were recorded at 1.0, 2.4, 5.3, 11.6, 55.5 and 56.0 mg dyestuff/l, respectively, during the 48 hour observation period. Based on the results, it is concluded that the 48 hour acute median effective concentration (EC50) is 31.72 mg dyestuff/l; the 95 % confidence interval with lower limit of 17.46 mg dyestuff/l and upper limit of 57.63 mg/l. No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) and Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) over the 48 hour exposure period are 1.0 and 2.4 mg dyestuff/l.
Samples from all the test concentrations were collected at 0 hour and at 48 hour analyzed for the test concentrations and stability. Test concentrations and stability were in the acceptable range of ± 20 % of the nominal values.
