Details on study design: HPLC method:
EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus: Alliance Separation Module 2695
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column: Hypersil BDS-CN, 150 mm ± 4.6 mm i.d., dp = 5 µm
- Detection system: Dual λ Absorbance Detector 2487

MOBILE PHASES
- Type: 55/45 (v/v) methanol/water
- pH: neutral
- Solutes for dissolving test and reference substances: methanol; The stock solutions were diluted to obtain an end solution of 55/45 (v/v) methanol/water.

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: by inert substances which are not retained by the column

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: Acetanilide, Atrazine, Monuron, 2,5-Dichloroaniline, Benzoic acid phenylester, Fenthion, Phenanthrene, 2,4-DDT


DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: 10 µl (7.7 µg)
- Quantity of reference substances: 10 µl (5.5 µg)

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: The reference substance and test substance solutions were injected in duplicate. Blank solutions were analysed by single injection.

EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k': k' = (tr - t0)/t0 where:
tr = retention time
t0 = mean column dead time

- Calculation of retention times: Taken from the HPLC chromatograms
- Determination of the log Koc value: log k' = a logKoc + b; where: a = slope, b = intercept

Details on results (HPLC method):
HPLC chromatograms of the test substance solution and corresponding blank solution are shown in Figure 1 (see below).
- Retention times of reference substances used for calibration: See Table 1 below
- Details of fitted regression line (log k' vs. log Koc): The equation of the regression line was: log k’ = 0.264 × log Koc – 1.214 (r = 0.97, n = 16).
- Graph of regression line attached: Figure 2 (see illustration below) shows the calibration curve of the log k’ of the reference substances as function of log Koc.
- Average retention data for test substance: See Table 1 below
