Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

Determination of the test item
The limit concentration 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).


Sampling for the analytical monitoring
At the start of the exposure (0 hours), samples of the fresh media (control and limit concentration) were taken after preparation of the limit concentration and analyzed. At the end of the exposure (48 hours), samples of the old media (control and limit concentration) were taken directly from the test vessels.


Criteria for the analytical Recoveries of the test item should be within ± 20% of the initially
monitoring (target) measured concentrations.

Test solutions

Vehicle:

no

Details on test solutions:

Stock solution
A limit concentration (100 mg/L of the test item was weighed out) was freshly prepared with dilution water prior to the start of the exposure (at 0 hours). The limit concentration was mixed thoroughly by manual agitation.

Test concentration
A limit concentration of 100 mg/L of the test item was tested.

The limit concentration was selected based on the results of a non-GLP preliminary range finding test.

Control Dilution water without test item incubated under the same conditions as the test group.

Details on test conditions:

Test vessels

Dilution water
Same composition as the culture medium

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

Age of the daphnids at the start of the exposure
Less than 24 hours old daphnids from a healthy stock were used
for the study. Juvenile daphnids were removed from the culture vessels at the latest 24 hours before the start of the exposure and discarded. 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.

Acclimatization
Acclimatization of the daphnids was not necessary, because the composition of the dilution water was equivalent to the culture medium.

Application
20 g test solution per replicate was weighed out into each test vessel. This corresponds to 20 mL per test vessel. The daphnids were inserted with a small amount of dilution water by a pipette.

Test temperature (target)

Reported statistics and error estimates:

Methods of evaluation
No calculations were made because no effects on Daphnia magna were observed.
All effect concentrations (EC10 / 50 / 100) given were based on the niominal concentrations of the test item.

 
EC-values and statistical analyses for reference item
An EC50-value was calculated for the reference item by sigmoidal dose-response regression. The respective 95% confidence limits were calculated from the standard error and the t-distribution. All calculations were carried out from the best-fit values with the software GraphPad Prism.

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:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

In the limit concentration of 100 mg/L of the test item Reactive Red 23, no effects on Daphnia magna were observed.
Based on the nominal concentrations of the test item Reactive Red 23, the 48 hours-EC10 / 50 / 100 for Daphnia magna was > 100 mg/L.

No effects were found at the maximum water solubility level in Elendt M4 medium.

Executive summary:

In the acute immobilization test with Daphnia magna (STRAUS), the effects of the test item Reactive Red 23 were determined at the test facility according to OECD 202 (2004) from 2018-02-06 to 2018-02-08.

The limit test was conducted under static conditions over a period of 48 hours.The test item concentration showed an red colour and and was visually clearly dissolved throughout the exposure.Twenty daphnids, divided into 4 replicates with 5 daphnids each, were exposed to the limit concentration and the control.

The concentration of the test item Reactive Red 23 was 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) in the limit concentration and in the control.

The measured concentration of the test item in fresh media at the start of the exposure (0 hours)were 96 % of the nominal values. At the end of the exposure period (48 hours), the measured test item concentration in the old media were 89 % of the nominal values. Since the measured concentrations of the test item Reactive Red 23 did remain stable within ± 20% of the nominal concentrations throughout the exposure period, the nominal concentrations were used for evaluation.

The effect concentrations given in the table below are based on the nominal concentration of the test item Reactive Red 23.

No effects were found at the limit concentration of 100 mg/L of the test item in Elendt M4 medium.

The validity criteria of the test guideline were fulfilled.
