| General description: | This Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) proficiency testing sample is produced in accordance with ISO/IEC 17043:2010. This product is produced according to TNI requirements. However, please note, this sample may include non-TNI analytes as well. In the Chronic WET tests, invertebrate Ceriodaphnia dubia is employed as a test organism to measure its ability to grow, develop and reproduce when exposed to wastewater effluent. 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. Our PT program is designed to meet the quality assurance requirements in compliance with Discharge Monitoring Report - Quality Assurance Program (DMR-QA), thereby ensuring the analytical competence of your laboratory.

| Preparation Note: | Description • The effluent is provided as a concentrate for dilution in 20% diluted mineral water (20% DMW). • 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. • Do not deviate from the supplied instructions or EPA Method 1002.0. Contact ptservice@milliporesigma. Preparation Instructions • To prepare 1 L of effluent, add 900 mL of 20% DMW to a volumetric flask. Preparation instructions for 20% DMW can be found in the EPA document EPA-821-R-02-013, page 26. • Transfer the entire contents of one ampule to the flask. Rinse the ampule with 20% DWM and transfer to volumetric flask. Bring flask to 1 L volume with 20% DWM. • This represents 1 L of effluent water for the test. Required Test Condition • 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: 20% diluted mineral water. • Storage Conditions,Please refer to the sample label for storage conditions. • If storage conditions are not provided on the label, it is intended for room temperature storage. |
