Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Test solutions were collected from each control and test loading rate at test initiation, test solution renewal, and at test completion. At test initiation and start of the renewal, sub-samples of the test solutions were collected from the vessels used to prepare the test solutions (bulk). At test completion and end of the renewal, sub-samples of test solution were pooled from each of the four replicates to create one sample per loading rate. Approximately 40 mL of the each control and test loading rate were collected in amber glass containers of appropriate size and stored refrigerated (2°C to 8°C) until analysis. An aliquot of control media (dilution water) was also collected at test initiation. Sub-sample containers were filled as much as possible to reduce headspace.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- The test item is a mono-constituent organic liquid; with a water solubility of 12 mg/L ± 1 mg/L at T = 20.0°C ± 0.5 °C. The test solutions were prepared as water accommodated fractions (WAFs) using the methodology described below. The test item was also found to be volatile in aqueous solutions; therefore, extra effort was taken to reduce headspace and exposure to the laboratory environment as per the OECD 23 Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures (OECD 2000).
Water accommodated fractions (WAFs) were prepared at 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg/L nominal loading rates (Table 6-3) and tested alongside a negative control and a WAF (method) control.
To prepare the WAFs, the test item was weighed and added directly to approximately 2.5L of dilution water in a 5L glass aspirator bottle. The solutions were then brought up to the 5L mark using dilution water. A WAF control (0 mg/L) was prepared alongside the test item WAFs; however, no test item was added, and a total of 5L was prepared. Immediately following preparation, WAFs were sealed with Parafilm®.
Each WAF solution was stirred using a magnetic stir bar and stirrer using a slow stir method. Stirring occurred for approximately 40 hours at which time the solution were allowed to settle undisturbed for approximately 1.5 hours.
WAF solutions were removed from the mixing vessel and collected in a glass holding vessel (1000mL glass beaker) by draining from the bottom third of the aspirator bottle, discarding the first ~100 mL, into an appropriate container and was immediately covered with Parafilm®. WAF solutions were drained from low loading rate to high loading rate to prevent cross contamination. The test item was found to be volatile in aqueous solutions; therefore, extra effort was taken to reduce headspace and exposure to the laboratory environment.
The test item was handled according to the Work Instruction for the Management of Test and Reference Items for GxP Studies (BBY1 WI-00008). All chemicals were weighed using analytical balances, which were operated according to the procedures outlined in the Corporate Procedure for Balance Calibrations and Verifications (COR WI-00015). All containers and apparatus used were new or thoroughly cleaned according to the Work Instruction for Cleaning of Laboratory Ware (BBY WI-00001).
