Details on results:

For all test runs, equilibrium of the recirculating solvent with the test material was defined as having been achieved when the analysis of five consecutive samplings did not vary by more than ±30 % and varied in a random fashion. In addition, it was necessary that a second run, carried out at approximately half the flow rate of the first run for each solvent, gave an average result that was within 30 % of the average from the first run.

Calculations were carried out according to method GRL-GM-1158 to obtain the concentration of the test material in the analytical solutions. These concentrations were converted to solubility values as follows:

Solubility (µg/L) = Analysed Concentration (µg/L) x Dilution Factor

For each solvent, the solubility results that met the criteria for acceptance from the two runs were averaged together to give an overall average with an associated % RSD.

The solubility of the test material in the aqueous buffers is as follows:
pH 5 aqueous buffer: 159 µg/L (%RSD 9.26)
pH 7 aqueous buffer: 132 µg/L (%RSD 24.8)
pH 9 aqueous buffer: 201 µg/L (%RSD 23.2)

The flask method was tried but it quickly became evident that this was not the approach that should have been taken. Three sets of samples were taken, one day apart, and analysed and in all cases the results were very erratic and showed very poor reproducibility. %RSDs for the entire set of data averaged approximately 48 %. This data was judged to be totally meaningless and was not included in the study report.
