Simplify Complex OECD 201 Analysis with One Tool
The Algae and Cyanobacteria Growth Inhibition Test (OECD 201) is part of the ecotoxicity battery tests, alongside fish acute toxicity and Daphnia magna acute toxicity tests, due to their interconnected roles in the freshwater ecosystem’s food chain. The test method is complex, and analyzing its results is equally challenging. Traditionally, no single statistical or toxicity data analysis program could take raw data and comprehensively produce all required outputs for the Test Report.
Traditional Analysis Methods for Algae and Cyanobacteria Growth Inhibition Test
- Manual Calculations: Validity of the Test, Average Growth Rate, and Yield must be calculated separately using a spreadsheet program.
- Point Estimation: A point estimation program is needed to calculate EC10, EC20, EC50, and their respective 95% confidence intervals for both Average Growth Rate and Yield.
- Hypothesis Testing: NOEC and LOEC for Average Growth Rate and Yield require a separate hypothesis test program.
- Graphing: A graphing program is used to create the growth curve (plot of biomass versus time).
ToxGenie Simplifies Everything
With our software, simply input raw data, and it automatically handles all required analyses per the Flowchart for Toxicity Data Analysis. It produces:
- All data needed to assess Validity of the Test.
- EC10, EC20, EC50 with 95% confidence intervals for Average Growth Rate and Yield.
- NOEC and LOEC calculations for Average Growth Rate and Yield.
- Growth curve plotting (biomass versus time).
Unlike traditional statistical analysis software, which requires basic statistical knowledge to understand analysis and tables, our software presents results in a way that is easy for analysts to comprehend.
