Pesticide Exposure Toxicity Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We purchased chemicals (IMI and CHL; >97.5% purity) from AccuStandard (New Haven, CT, USA) and dissolved them in deionized water (IMI) or acetone (CHL). Pesticide-grade acetone (Fisher Chemical, USA) was used as a solvent carrier for the CHL treatments, and in solvent controls, to a final concentration of 0.01% in exposure water. Our stock solutions were then spiked into control water according to target concentrations, keeping acetone at 0.01%, and mixed thoroughly. Our exposure concentrations matched range-finding experiments and environmentally relevant concentrations (Table S1). In total, D. magna were exposed to six single concentrations (25, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 10,000 ng/L) of each pesticide and three mixture concentrations (25 × 25 ng/L, 500 × 500 ng/L, 10,000 × 10,000 ng/L), a solvent control (for CHL exposures only), and a negative control (control water only). P. promelas were exposed to three single concentrations (25, 500, 10,000 ng/L) of each pesticide and three mixture concentrations (25 × 25 ng/L, 500 × 500 ng/L, 10,000 × 10,000 ng/L), a solvent control, and a negative control. Acute exposure test conditions were identical for both single/binary and field exposures (see Methods Section 2.4.2).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
