One conclusion from this article is that Tween 20 showed the most cytotoxicity in brine shrimp lethality bioassay. Tween 20 is a detergent, which can help to dissolve natural products contains oil.
Detergents have long alkyl chains and water-soluble functional groups. Hence they are water-soluble and are able to dissolve hydrophobic compounds with their alkyl chains. They are called surface-acting agents. The may denature proteins and inhibit biological processes. So to overcome this problem, it is important to discover new detergents with lower toxicity for brine shrimp lethality bioassay and other bioassays. New low toxicity surface-acting agents were developed in the past several decades.
One of them is Nikkol. It has been used in a membrane protein research in which the proteins were dissolved with the help of Nikkol, but still maintains a native-like state. Nikkol is a nonionic detergent and showed low toxicity. This may be a promising new solvent can be used in brine shrimp lethality bioassay.
Another aspect of brine shrimp lethality bioassay is the proper design of experiments. As many other medical researches, organic chemicals are generally used as drug vehicles or carriers in brine shrimp lethality bioassay. However, these compounds often have toxicity or even the pleiotropy in vitro or in vivo. For the bioactive compound of either natural or synthetic origin, this is a rapid and comprehensive test. It is also an inexpensive and simple test as no aseptic techniques are required.
It easily utilizes a large number of organisms for statistical validation and requires no special equipment and relatively small amount of sample mg or less is necessary.

Light source Microtip pipette Magnifying glass Plant extract of 10 mg was weighed by an analytical balance. Then stock solution was prepared by dissolving 10 mg of plant extract soluble in water in 1 mL of water.
Five test tubes were labeled as Then 1 mL of prepared solution was taken into the respect test tubes containing 10 nauplii and 1 mL of seawater. The number of dead nauplii was counted after 24 hours. Measure 3 liters of water using measuring cylinder and pour into the rectangular jar 2. Weigh about 27 g of table salt by an balance and add it into the jar containing water 3. Mix the water with a spatula 4. Place the tip of an airline from a air pump into the bottom of the jar maintaining proper aeration 5.
Add about 15 g of brine shrimp eggs at the top water level of the jar and mix with the water 6. Switch on a light Watt bulb placed a few inches away from the jar 7.
After hours, the nauplii will hatch 8. Observe the eggs and nauplii 9. Collect the nauplii after the next 24 hours Hatched nauplii must be separated from the empty egg. It can be done by turn off the air and switch off the lamp. The empty egg will float while the brine shrimp will concentrate in the water column. Transfer 10 nauplii to a test tube using a Pasteur pipette Toxicity testing Expose the nauplii to different concentrations of the plant extract The percent of lethality of the nauplii for each concentration and control was calculated.
Most researchers prefer this method to use.
