Principles of method if other than guideline:

A bio-accessibility testing study has been designed to assay the metal release of Diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N) rhodate (Rhodium salt) compounds in gastric synthetic media. Metals or metallic compounds are subjected to a media that mimic gastric juice, in terms of pH and body temperature (pH 1.5 and 37 °C), for an exposure time of 1 hour with agitation. Then the compounds are incubated for another hour without agitation, before aliquots are taken, filtered and bio-accessible metal quantified by ICP-MS.

CV: corresponds to the coefficient of variation between vessels (the ratio between the standard deviation and the mean of metal released).

Values between quotes are regarded as outliers and are not considered in the calculations (see outliers criteria in the Quality control section).

BDL: Below detection limit.

*Solubility above 100% is due to errors associated with the bio-elution method (mass and volume uncertainties) added to possible errors in the metal content of the compound reported in the certificate of analysis.

The control standards used to assure the quality of the measurements obtained with ICP-MS, demonstrated an adequate stability and accuracy of the instrument during the metal quantification of the bio-elution samples. All the QC samples showed metal concentration measurements in the range of 20% around the certified value of the standards; criterion used to assure the quality of the measurements.   

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N) rhodate showed solubility of 115 % after 2 hours in gastric juice. After incubation in gastric juice, 35476 µg/L of Rh (176498 µg/g) was released from samples after 2 hours.

Executive summary:

A study to estimate metal bio-accessibility for Diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N) rhodatei n synthetic gastric juice was performed following Standard Operating Procedure (SOP, Eurometaux, November 2010).

 

The test item was subjected to a media that mimic gastric juice, in terms of pH and body temperature (pH 1.5 and 37 °C), for an exposure time of 1 hour with agitation. Then the compounds are incubated for another hour without agitation, before aliquots are taken, filtered and bio-accessible metal quantified by ICP-MS.

Diammonium sodium hexakis(nitrito-N) rhodate showed solubility of 115 % after 2 hours in gastric juice. Solubility above 100% is considered to be due to errors associated with the bio-elution method (mass and volume uncertainties) added to possible errors in the metal content of the compound reported in the certificate of analysis.

After incubation in gastric juice, 35476 µg/L of Rhodium (176498 µg/g) was released from samples after 2 hours.
