产品说明

一般描述

This Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) proficiency testing sample is produced in accordance with ISO/IEC 17043:2010. This sample is manufactured according to TNI requirements. However, please note, this sample may include non-TNI analytes as well.

In chronic WET tests, inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, is employed as a test organism to measure its ability to grow, develop and reproduce when exposed to wastewater effluents. This method of determination is used to estimate the effluent′s toxicity levels in aquatic/freshwater environments.

Supelco^® is a global proficiency testing (PT) provider that manufactures best-in-class environmental and pharmaceutical PT products. Most water PT samples are available as concentrates or ready-to-use volumes giving the end-user flexibility in selecting samples that will fit their exact needs.

制备说明

Description

• The effluent is provided as a concentrate for dilution in synthetic seawater.
• This concentrate is an EPA-specified toxicant in reagent-grade DI water.
• Enough material has been provided to run the method at least twice. If you require more toxicant, please contact ptservice@milliporesigma.com. An ampule is provided for making fresh effluents for each day of the test.
• Do not deviate from the supplied instructions or EPA Method 1006.0. Contact ptservice@milliporesigma.com before running the test if you see the need to deviate from the test conditions.
• Deviations may affect your final evaluation.

• To prepare 6 L of effluent, add 5900 mL of synthetic seawater to a volumetric flask.
• Preparation instructions for synthetic seawater can be found in the EPA document EPA-821-R-02-014, page 26.
• Transfer the entire contents of one ampule to the flask.
• Rinse the ampule with synthetic seawater and transfer to the volumetric flask. Bring flask to 6 L volume with synthetic seawater.
• This represents 6 L of effluent water for the test.

• Test Type: Static renewal
• Test duration: 7 days
• Temperature: 25 ºC ±1 ºC. The test must not deviate by more than 3 ºC during the test.
• Renewal of Test solutions: Daily
• Dilution water: Synthetic seawater

• Light quality: Ambient laboratory illumination (recommended)
• Light intensity: 10-20 μE/m²/s (50-100 ft-c.) (ambient laboratory levels) (recommended)
• Photoperiod: 16 h light, 8 h darkness (recommended)
• Test chamber: 600-1000 mL glass beakers (recommended)
• Test solution volume: 500-750 mL per replicate (recommended minimum)
• Age of test organisms: 7-11 days post hatch; less than or equal to 24-h range in age (required)
• No. of organisms per test chamber: 10 (required minimum)
• No. of replicate chambers per concentration: 4 (required minimum)
• No. of larvae per concentration: 40 (required minimum)
• Source of food: Newly hatched Artemia nauplii (less than 24 h old) (required)
• Feeding regime: Feed 0.10 g wet weight Artemia nauplii per replicate on days 0-2; Feed 0.15g wet weight Artemia nauplii per replicate on days 3-6 (recommended)
• Cleaning: Siphon daily, immediately before test solution renewal and feeding (required)
• Aeration: None unless DO falls below 4.0 mg/L, then aerate all chambers. Rage should be less than 100 bubbles/min (recommended)
• Endpoints: Survival and growth (required); and egg development (recommended)
• Test acceptability criteria: 80% or greater survival in controls, 0.50 mg average dry weight of control larvae where test starts with 7-days old larvae and dried immediately after test termination, or 0.43 mg or greater average dry weight per surviving control larvae, preserved not more than 7 days in 4% formalin or 70% ethanol.
