Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

(see Attachment / Table 3)
- Concentrations mg/l: 0,29 / 0,59 / 1,44 / 3,67 / 3,54
- Sampling method: HPLC
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: -18°C

Composition samples of each test concenttraion were drawn by mixing identical volumes of the test solutions taken from the approximate center of the test vessels. They were taken immediately before exposure and after 48 hours exposure and kept at -18 to -22°C until analysis.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):

Daphnia magna

Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM
- Strain: Straus 1820
- Source: Ciba-Geigy Ltd., testing facility
- Age at study initiation: above 24 h
- Breeding:
- Cultures of Daphnia are maintained in glass vessels containing approx 2,5 l of reconstituted water
- Temperature: 20 °C +/- 1
- water is renewed partially thrice weekly
- Feeding at each water renewal: suspension of green algea (Scenedesmus subspicatus) supplemented by a suspension of Tetramin-extract
- Feeding during the test: none
- No. of Daphnia: 20 per concentration and control. 4 replicates of 5 daphnia each

PRETREATMENT/QUARANTINE
- 24 h before the begin of the exposure reproductive daphnia are separated from the young by sieving all individuals through a 800 µm sieve.
This operation is repeated immediately before the exposure and the young (0-24h of age) are reteined for the test.
