The blank controls (without the test chemical or reference chemical) oxygen uptake rate should not be less than 20 mg oxygen per one gramme of activated sludge (dry weight of suspended solids) in an hour. If the rate is lower, the test should be repeated with washed activated sludge or with the sludge from another source.

If a solvent or dispersant is used, its final concentration should be reported and kept to a minimum (≤ 100 μl/l), and all treatments and controls should contain the same concentration of solvent or dispersant. Further guidance on the use of dispersants is given in (8).
Ako se upotrebljava otapalo ili dispergent, treba navesti njegovu konačnu koncentraciju, koju u svakom slučaju treba svesti na najmanju moguću mjeru (≤ 100 μl/l) i voditi računa o tome da sve obrade i kontrole sadrže istu koncentraciju otapala odnosno dispergenta..

The pH is adjusted to 6,5 ± 0,2 with either 0,1 or 1 mol HCl or NaOH, and the volume adjusted to one litre with deionised water. 20X AAP growth medium Stock solutions are prepared in sterile distilled or deionised water. Sterile stock solutions should be stored under cool and dark conditions. Under these conditions the stock solutions will have a shelf life of at least 6 - 8 weeks. Five nutrient stock solutions (A1, A2, A3, B and C) are prepared for 20X — AAP medium, using reagent-grade chemicals. The 20 ml of each nutrient stock solution is added to approximately 850 ml deionised water to produce the growth medium.
(pufer MOPS) (vidjeti stavak 11.).
The pH is adjusted to 7,5 ± 0,1 with either 0,1 or 1 mol HCl or NaOH, and the volume adjusted to one litre with deionised water. The medium is then filtered through a 0,2 μm (approximate) membrane filter into a sterile container. Growth medium intended for testing should be prepared 1-2 days before use to allow the pH to stabilise. The pH of the growth medium should be checked prior to use and readjusted if necessary by the addition of 0,1 or 1 mol NaOH or HCl as described above. Note: The theoretically appropriate final bicarbonate concentration (which will avoid appreciable pH adjustment) is 15 mg/L, not 300 mg/L.

For longer shelf life treat stock solutions in an autoclave at 121 °C for 20 min or alternatively carry out a sterile filtration (0,2 μm). For stock solution 8 sterile filtration (0,2 μm) is strongly recommended. Preparation of the final concentration of STEINBERG medium (modified) Add 20 ml of stock solutions 1, 2 and 3 (see table 2) to about 900 ml deionised water to avoid precipitation. Add 1,0 ml of stock solutions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 (see table 3). The pH should be to 5,5 +/– 0,2 (adjust by addition of a minimised volume of NaOH solution or HCl). Adjust with water to 1000 ml. If stock solutions are sterilised and appropriate water is used no further sterilisation is necessary.

At the end of this equilibration period, samples should be taken at least of the overlying water and the bulk sediment, at least at the highest concentration and a lower one, for analysis of the test chemical concentration. These analytical determinations of the test chemical should allow for calculation of mass balance and expression of results based on measured initial concentrations.

A suspension of the required amount of peat powder in deionised water is prepared using a high-performance homogenising device. The pH of this suspension is adjusted to 5,5 ± 0,5 with CaCO3.
Priprema se suspenzija potrebne količine treseta u prahu u deioniziranoj vodi s pomoću uređaja za homogenizaciju visokog učinka. pH-vrijednost te suspenzije podešava se u području od 5,5 ± 0,5 s pomoću CaCO3.
The suspension is conditioned for at least two days with gentle stirring at 20 ± 2 °C, to stabilise pH and establish a stable microbial component. pH is measured again and should be 6,0 ± 0,5. Then the peat suspension is mixed with the other constituents (sand and kaolin clay) and deionised water to obtain an homogeneous sediment with a water content in a range of 30–50 per cent of dry weight of the sediment.
Suspenzija se kondicionira najmanje dva dana blagim miješanjem na 20 ± 2 °C kako bi se stabilizirala pH-vrijednost i uspostavila stabilna mikrobna komponenta. pH-vrijednost ponovno se mjeri i trebala bi iznositi 6,0 ± 0,5.
