I am conducting an experiment on the ecological effect of gold nanoparticles 
using the mortality rate of daphnia magna as a toxicological endpoint. I will 
be using different concentrations of gold nanoparticles by using the process 
of serial dilution. I want to make sure even if with the smallest amount of 
concentration of metal nanoparticles, not all of them will die very quickly.
