Preparation of the solutions
Solution of the unretained compound
A 1.99 g/L stock solution of formamide in methanol was used. The test solution was prepared by adding 1000 µL of the stock solution to a 5 mL volumetric flask. The flask was filled up to the mark with mobile phase.

The formamide blank solution was prepared by adding 1000 µL of methanol to a 5 mL volumetric flask. The flask was filled up to the mark with mobile phase.

Reference substance solutions
Stock solutions of the reference substances at concentrations of approximately 1 g/L in methanol were used. Two mixtures of the reference substances were prepared. Each mixture contained four reference substances and was prepared by adding 1000 µL of each stock solution to a 10 mL volumetric flask. The flask was filled up to the mark with mobile phase.

The blank solution of reference substance was prepared by adding 4000 µL of methanol to a 10 mL volumetric flask. The flask was filled up to the mark with mobile phase.

Test solution
A 5730 mg/L stock solution of the test substance was prepared in methanol. The test solution was prepared by adding 750 µL of the stock solution to 250 µL water. The final test substance concentration of the test solution was 2149 mg/L.

The test substance blank solution was prepared by adding 750 µL of methanol to 250 µL water.

Injections

The reference substance and test substance solutions were injected in duplicate. Blank solutions were analysed by single injection.

Computational methods:

The capacity factor (k’) of each compound was calculated from its retention time. The log k’ values of the reference substances were plotted against the known log Koc values. A linear regression program was used to calculate the calibration curve. Linear regression analysis was performed using the least squares method. The coefficient of correlation (r) was calculated. The log Koc value for the test substance was calculated by substituting its mean log k' in the calibration curve. The value of log Koc obtained from duplicate measurements was within ± 0.25 log units.
