The test solution was prepared in a 1 L female flask and diluted with dilution water to a constant volume.
- Other relevant information: The test solution was analysed at a frequency of 3 times during the exposure period (6 times in total before and after the water change) for all concentration groups (but one test container per test container). The test water was analysed by HPLC. When analysing the test water. The standard solution was measured for each sample measurement and quantified from its peak height.
