Method
The determination was carried out using the HPLC screening method, designed to be compatible with Method C19 Adsorption Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
To satisfy the requirements of the guidelines which state that for ionisable substances the test should be performed with both ionised and non-ionised forms, two determinations were performed in buffered mobile phase; one at pH 5.5 and one at pH 7.5.

Procedure
Preparation of mobile phase
Phosphate buffer at pH 5.5 was prepared as follows:
Solution A: 13.61 g/l potassium dihydrogen phosphate in reverse osmosis water.
Solution B: 35.82 g/l disodium hydrogen phosphate in reverse osmosis water.
The solutions were mixed in proportions of 967 ml of Solution A plus 36 ml of Solution B and then adjusted to pH 5.5 using 1 M sodium hydroxide.
Mobile phase A: methanol:buffer pH 5.5 (55:45 v/v), adjusted to pH 5.5 using 1 M hydrochloric acid.
Mobile phase B: methanol:buffer pH 7* (55:45 v/v), adjusted to pH 7.5 using 1 M hydrochloric acid.

Preparation of sample solutions
Test item (0.5014 g) was diluted to 20 ml with mobile phase A.
Test item (0.5068 g) was diluted to 20 ml with mobile phase B.
*Buffer pH 7, Fisher Scientific, code J/2850/24.

Preparation of dead time solutions
The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity*, 99.5%, 1.10 x 10E4 mg/l solution in mobile phase A and 1.03 x 10E4 mg/l solution in mobile phase B).
Preparation of reference standard solutions
Solutions of reference standards (see following table) were prepared in methanol.

Determination of retention time
The sample, dead time and reference standard solutions were injected in duplicate using the following HPLC parameters:
HPLC System: Agilent Technologies 1100, incorporating workstation
Column: CN Optimal 5µm (150 x 4.6 mm id)
Column temperature: 35ºC
Mobile phase : Determination 1: Mobile Phase A (pH 5.5)
Determination 2: Mobile Phase B (pH 7.5)
Flow rate: 1.0 ml/min
Injection volume: 10 µl
Refractive index detector: polarity: positive
temperature: 35ºC
Construction of calibration curve
A calibration curve was constructed from the retention time data of the dead time and reference standard solutions (Figures 11.1 and 11.2). The capacity factors (k) for the reference standards were calculated using Equation 11.1.
Adsorption coefficient of sample
The capacity factors were calculated using Equation 11.1 and the log10 Koc value determined using Equation 11.2 with reference to the calibration curve (Figures 11.1 and 11.2).
