Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
Chemical anlaysis was completed on samples to confirm concentrations. HPLC was used.

Test solutions

Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
A 100 mg/l "aged" stock slution of A-133816.0 was prepared by adding a weighed amount of A-1338163.0 (0.498g) to a 5L volumettric flask and bringing the flask to volume with Daphnia medium.

Study design

Test type:
semi-static
Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
yes
Total exposure duration:
48 h
Post exposure observation period:
Those animals which were unable to swim within 15 s following gentle agitation of the test contianer were considered immobile. No immoblie Daphnia were recorded during the study.

Test conditions

Hardness:
164 mg CaCO3 mg/l
Test temperature:
19.6-20.3 oC
pH:
pH was monitored
Nominal and measured concentrations:
Nominal concentration = 100 mg/l "aged solutuon"

Chemical analysis was conducted on the "aged" solutions to confirm that A-133816.0 had degraded to 2,4-wing acid.
Details on test conditions:

- Material, size, headspace, fill volume: 200 ml capacity
- Aeration: ventilation holes
- Renewal rate of test solution (frequency/flow rate):
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 5
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 1
- No. of vessels per vehicle control (replicates):




OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: 16 h light, 8 hour dark. Illumination provided by artificial daylight fluroescent tubes


TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study: Basedon the results of hydrolysis studies conducted under INveresk Project No. 374979, a limit test was conducted on an "aged" solution of 100 mg/l nominal A-133816.0
