Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: 0 (control), 120 mg/L as nominal concentrations
- Sampling method: Sampling was performed at the start of the exposure (0 h) from the inoculated replicate 7 of each concentration and the control. At the end of the exposure (72 h) samples were taken of the inoculated replicates 1-6 of the test concentrations and of the inoculated replicates 1-6 of the control group. The replicates were combined before sampling. Additionally, samples were collected from the uninoculated replicate 0 of each test concentration and the control at the end of the exposure (72 h).
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: Samples were transported to the Analytical Laboratory on the day of sampling. Ambient temperature
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The stock test solution (133.2 mg/L) was prepared by weighing 266.36 mg test substance and diluting it in 2 L test water. The mixture was stirred vigorously for about 10 minutes on a magnetic stir plate. To reach the correct nominal concentration (120 mg/L) at test start, 10 mL of inoculum culture was added to 90 mL of the stock test solution. The pH value of the stock solution was initially 4.3 and was adjusted with 1 molar NaOH to pH 8.4 prior to addition of algal inoculum.
The stock solution was visibly clear and slightly pink following preparation.
- Controls: The analytically determined concentrations of the test substance in the test solutions during the exposure period were within the range of + 20% of the nominal concentrations.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Raphidocelis subcapitata (previous names: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata
- Strain: KORSHIKOV SAG 61.81
- Source (laboratory, culture collection): The algae were obtained at regular intervals from SAG (Collection of algal cultures in Göttingen) and were kept in liquid culture in the Laboratory of Ecotoxicology of the Experimental Toxicology and Ecology, BASF SE, Ludwigshafen, Germany.
- Age (on study day 0): A stock algal culture is maintained continuously at the test facility. Before the exposure an inoculum culture is prepared from the stock culture and incubated for 3 days at 21 – 24 °C (max. temperature difference 2 °C). After this time, the inoculum culture is in exponential growth phase and can be used to initiate the test (study day 0).
