Details on results:
The individual log Pow values of the six samples in each solution clearly fall within the requirement of +/- 0.3 log units.
Conclusions:
At all pH values and at 20 °C, the octanol / water partition coefficient has been determined
experimentally to be:
log Pow = -0.60 at pH 5.0
log Pow = -0.97 at pH 7.0
log Pow = -2.6 at pH 9.0
Executive summary:

The 1-octanol / water partition coefficient ( Pow ) of the test substance has been determined at 20 °C in accordance with the EU method A.8., the OECD guideline number 107 and the EPA test guideline OPPTS 830.7550 using the shake-flask method. The results are summarized below:

Pow = 0.25 (+/- 0.0039) log Pow = -0.60 at pH 5.0

Pow = 0.11 (+/- 0.0011) log Pow = -0.97 at pH 7.0

Pow = 0.0024 (+/- 0.000041) log Pow = -2.6 at pH 9.0

log Pow is the logarithm to base 10 of Pow

The figure in parentheses represents one standard deviation about the mean and the final values have been quoted correct to two significant figures.
