Any other information on results incl. tables

- The mean pH at 25.0 °C was 5.0. The individual pH values were 4.78 and 4.85 for replicate 1, and 5.45 and 5.45 for replicate 2. A second reading of each suspension was obtained since the pH value spread was wider than expected.

- pH 7.00 buffer checks at the beginning and end of experimentation were 6.96 and 7.03, respectively, indicating adequate instrument stability over the course of experimentation (within target ±0.05).

- After a discussion of the above results with the Sponsor, a second duplicate set of 1 % suspensions was prepared. The Sponsor representative was concerned with the observation of a suspension and not a solution at 1 % w/w level at 25 °C in water. After approximately 2.5 hours of equilibration at 25 °C, the individual pH values of each suspension were 5.05 for replicate 1 and 5.57 for replicate 2. The mean of 5.2 agrees well with 5.0 in the first experiment above.
