- •
Passive dosing versus spiking of hydrophobic organics compared in the Microtox® test.
- •
Passive dosing giving up to a tenfold increase in the apparent test sensitivity.

Due to better definition of dissolved test concentrations and buffering of losses.
- •
Rigorous control of exposure important even in simple microbial toxicity tests.
