Name: Isooctadecanoic acid, potassium salt
CAS No.: 66469-15-6
Physical state: off white to yellowish solid at 20 °C
Batch No.: PFS-755-169
Re-certification date of batch: 12 December 2017
Purity: 100 % (UVCB)
pH, 10% in DI water 8.0 - 9.0
Stability: stable under test conditions
Storage condition of test material: Room temperature, protected from light - Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Samples were taken in 3 replicates from three test concentrations (50 mg/l, 200 mg/l and 800 mg/l loading rate) and the control (NC) at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h from the separate test vessels without daphnids. For stabilisation of the sample 2 mL acetonitrile were added into the 4 mL glass vials. With every sampling 2 mL test-solution were taken and filled into 4 mL glass vials. The pipette tip was rinsed with the test solution-acetonitril-mixture in the glass vial two or three times. Two of the replicates were stored at 5°C +/- 3°C until being sent to the analytical laboratory. The third retain samples were kept in the freezer until finalization of the study. Proper departure and arrival of the samples were documented.
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Due to the low solubility of the test item, the test was performed with a water saturated fraction in M4 medium with a nominal concentration (LR) of 800 mg/L. Therefore 401.7 mg of the test item was added to 500 mL M4 medium. The solution was shaken in a 500 mL glass bottle for 24 h (+/- 1h) in the dark at room temperature (25.7 – 25.9 °C). For shaking an overhead shaker was used (about 15 rpm). After shaking was stopped, undissolved material were allowed to sediment for a period of 25 min After the settling time, the saturated fraction of the solution was transferred into a beaker glass by siphoning. The solution was
turbid. Therefore the solution was filtered with a glass fibre filter (1-2 µm, MN 85/70 BF; Lot:106572/1) as a pre-filtration first and in the second step with a nylon filter (0.45 µm, PES Nalgene, Lot: 1191856) to prepare a clear test solution. The pH was 8.6. The controls (NC) with M4 medium only was treated the same way as the test solution. Further test concentrations was prepared by diluting the test solution (saturated fraction) with M4 medium. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- The test organism Daphnia magna Straus originates from the clone breeding of the Federal Environment Agency, department IV 2.4, Berlin, and was cultivated at Hydrotox GmbH since October 2012. The daphnids are cultured at 20 ± 2 °C with 16 h light : 8 h dark and placed into fresh M4 medium twice a week. They are kept at approx. 10 animals / 200 mL and fed on workdays with Desmodesmus subspicatus algae corresponding to 0.1 mg C × daphnid-1 × day-1. The test organisms used were 0.75 - 21 h old at the start of the test. Quality assurance takes place at regular intervals by testing the sensitivity of the test organisms
to the reference item potassium dichromate. The recent quality testing was performed in February 2017 with EC50 = 1.32 mg/L (1.24 – 1.41 mg/L Cl-95%) (24 h) which is in the declared range of 0.6 - 2.1 mg/L (24 h) according to OECD 202. - Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Remarks:
- M4 medium
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 48 h
- Hardness:
- M4 medium
- Test temperature:
- The temperature during the exposure was 20.8 – 21.3 °C (required 18 - 22 °C, constant within ± 1 °C).
- pH:
- The pH was 7.9 - 7.7 in the control and 7.9 – 8.6 in the test item treatments.
- Dissolved oxygen:
- The dissolved oxygen concentration was 8.0 – 8.3 mg/L in the control and 6.8 – 8.0 mg/L in the test item treatments.
- Salinity:
- M4 medium
- Conductivity:
- M4 medium
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- A preliminary test without GLP was performed before start of this GLP-study. Nominal concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L test item resulted in 0, 0 and 100 % immobility after 48 h exposure, respectively. But the mobility of daphnids in 100 mg/L has clearly slowed. In the present study, five nominal Loading Rates (LR) of 50 - 800 mg/L test item were applied.
Analysis
In the control, the test item was not detected. In the test item treatments the test item was detected but the calculated concentration of the samples was below the limit of quantification (< LOQ)of the validated method and therefore no calculation of the final concentration (taking into account the dilution factor of 2) were possible. A calibration below 10 mg/L was not feasible in the test medium. - Reference substance (positive control):

In an OECD 202 GLP study the Daphnia magna acute immobilisation of the test item was analyzed with five loading rates between 50 mg/L and 800 mg/L. Because of the low solubility of the test item, resulting in a very low recovery rate, all results are given in relation to the nominal test item concentrations.The following results were obtained: ELR50 (24 h): 572.9 mg/l (95%-CI: 470.2 – 726.3 mg/l) and ELR50 (48 h): 185.9 (95%-CI: n.d.).

Effect concentrations
The effect concentrations after 24 h and 48 h exposure were calculated with the statistical software ToxRat Professional 3.2.1. Although the measured test item concentrations are not within ± 20 % of the nominal concentrations, all results are given in relation to the nominal test item concentrations. As only three of the five test item concentrations were measured within the chemical analysis and the results of the measurement showed a high variability and below the limit of quantification, it is not feasible to conduct the data evaluation based on the measured test item concentrations.
