Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Determination of the test item
The saturated solution and the control were analytically verified via
HPLC-DAD in fresh media at the start of the exposure period (0 hours). Since the measured test item concentration was even below the LOD in fresh media at the start of the exposure period, the analytical monitoring at the end of the exposure was waived and the test item concentration was considered to be below the LOD in the 48 hours old media, too. Details of the analytical method are presented in section 12. Analytical results are presented in section 7.1.3.
Sampling for the analytical monitoring
At the start of the exposure (0 hours), samples of the fresh media
(control and saturated solution) were taken after preparation of the saturated solution and analyzed.
Criteria for the analytical monitoring (target)
Recoveries of the test item should be within ± 20% of the nominal or
initially measured concentration.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Limit loading level
A saturated solution with a nominal loading of 100 mg/L of the test item was tested in a limit test.
The limit loading level was selected based on the results of a non-GLP preliminary range finding test. For results, see Annex I.
Preparation of the saturated solution
A saturated solution (100 mg/L test item were weighed out) was
prepared with dilution water (see Table 2) one day before the start of the exposure (at -24 hours).
The test item was mixed with the dilution water by constant stirring with a magnetic stirrer at approximately 1100 rpm for 24 hours at room temperature. After completion of stirring, undissolved particles were removed by membrane filtration (membrane filter 0.45 µm, RC, MACHEREY-NAGEL). The filter was saturated in order to avoid adsorption during the filtration. The first 25 mL of the filtrate were discarded. The filtration was interrupted for 10 minutes to allow adsorption and saturation of the filter material with dissolved test item. Thereafter, the filtration was continued. The next 25 mL were discarded. The following filtrate, i.e. the saturated solution, was tested in a limit test. During filtration, the filter was always kept covered.
The saturated solution was checked via laser beam (Tyndall effect) for undissolved test item. The Tyndall effect was negative.
Control

- Number of daphnids and replicates
20 daphnids, divided into 4 replicates, each with 5 daphnids were
used for each loading level and the control.
Age of the daphnidsat 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 was not necessary, because the dilution water was equivalent to the culture medium.
Application
20 g test solution per replicate were 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 pipette.

95% confidence limits 1.92 - 2.43 mg/L - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Methods of evaluation No calculations were made, because no effects on Daphnia magna were observed.
According to OECD Guidance Document No 23 (2000), if an effect cannot be detected in a test with a saturated solution, the result has to be reported as no toxic effects at saturation. Therefore, all effect levels (EL10 / 50 / 100) given were based on the nominal loading of the test item.
EC-values and statistical An EC50-value was calculated for the reference item by sigmoidal
analyses for reference item 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 Prism5.
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:
- GraphPad Prism5, GRAPHPAD SOFTWARE, INC.
- Excel, MICROSOFT CORPORATION

The concentration of the test item DisperseBlue 165 was analytically verified via HPLC-DAD in the fresh media at the start of the exposure (0 hours) in the saturated solution and in the control. Details of the analytical method are presented in section 12.
The measured concentration in the saturated solution was < LOD (0.00625 mg/L with a S/N ratio of 3) at the start of the exposure (0 hours). Therefore, analytical monitoring at the end of the exposure was waived and the test item concentration was considerd to be below the LOD in the 48-hours media, too.For results, seeTable5.
Since the recoveries at 0 hours were < LOD, the method validation was not necessary.
