TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental factors that contribute to base line noise in the postcolumn-reaction detection of metal ions eluted from high-performance dynamic ion exchangers have been evaluated and compared for a screen-tee reactor and three annular membrane reactions having internal volumes of 1.5, 5.3 and 9.6
Abstract: The experimental factors that contribute to base line noise in the postcolumn-reaction detection of metal ions eluted from high-performance dynamic ion exchangers have been evaluated and compared for a screen-tee reactor (approx. 1 ..mu..L internal volume) and three annular membrane reactions having internal volumes of 1.5, 5.3, and 9.6 ..mu..L. Measurements of mixing homogeneity, performed with pulseless gas-pressure pumping, showed that both reactor designs gave a mixing homogeneity that was 99.983% of that theoretically possible (perfect mixing) for two solutions differing in absorbance by 2.38 units. For normal operation with high-performance reciprocating pumps for eluent delivery, pump pulsations were responsible for 90-100% of the observed peak-to-peak noise. Column efficiency measurements with a series of lanthanide metal ions gave similar curves for both designs (HETP values of 0.01-0.04 mm). Both reactors gave reproducible peak areas, had good peak shapes, and operated reliably. With the membrane reactors some leakage of eluent into the reagent solution occurred at high eluent or reagent flow rates, but this was not a problem for normal operating conditions.

TL;DR: Routine testing of a reference toxicant, conducted in conjunction with routine bioassays, is a realistic expectation and Sodium pentachlorophenate is recommended as a reference Toxicant.
Abstract: Use of a reference toxicant promises to improve the usefulness of toxicity tests. Criteria such as < 10 percent mortality during a pretest acclimation period indicate only that the test organisms can survive the holding facility. A more reliable and logical method is to use a reference toxicant to estimate the fitness of organisms. Coupled with other standard bioassay procedures, a reference toxicant enables interlaboratory and intralaboratory comparisons of toxicity information to be made. In the context of invertebrate toxicity tests, where the available space and numbers of organisms are not so limiting as in fish bioassays, routine testing of a reference toxicant, conducted in conjunction with routine bioassays, is a realistic expectation. One problem with reference toxicant information is the question of what can be done when the test organisms are inexplicably abnormal in their resistance. A proposed solution is to use a "sensitivity factor" to adjust the LC 5 0 values obtained with the abnormal test group. Sodium pentachlorophenate is recommended as a reference toxicant. It has a convincing history of use in toxicity testing, it is fast acting and nonselective in its toxicity to both invertebrates and fish, and it is recognized as an environmental contaminant. Other potential reference toxicants are also considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual site-scale (tens of kilometres) hydro-mechanical model was assembled based primarily on site-specific litho-structural, hydrogeological and geomechanical data from the Whiteshell Research Area in the Canadian Shield, with simplification and generalization.
