Experimental Procedure
Mixtures of the test substance with each of the investigated solvents were prepared in glass volumetric flasks. Sufficient substance was added to ensure that saturation was achieved. The contents of each flask were stirred for forty-eight hours at the test temperature of 25.0 °C (± 0.1 °C) in a thermostatically controlled water bath. After this time a representative aliquot from each flask was transferred to a stainless steel centrifuge tube. These tubes were then centrifuged for 40 minutes at 50000 G in a centrifuge, thermostated at 25.0 °C.

Analysis
After centrifugation each centrifuge tube contained a clear supernatant liquid - saturated solution - with a residue of undissolved, excess test substance still present. An aliquot from each clear, saturated solution was subsequently analysed by high performance liquid chromatography to determine the solubility of the test substance in each of the investigated solvents.
The analytical method is sufficiently precise and sensitive, and is specific with respect to known by-products and degradation products.
