Details on sampling:

Preparation of samples: Sample solutions were prepared in stoppered glass flasks at a nominal concentration of 2 g/l in the three buffer solutions. The test solutions were split into individual vessels for each data point. The solutions were shielded from light whilst maintained at the test temperature.

Preliminary test/Tier 1: Sample solutions at pH 4 were maintained at 50.0 ± 0.5°C for a period of 147 hours. Sample solutions at pH 7 and 9 were maintained at 50.0 ± 0.5°C for a period of 121 hours.

Analysis of sample solutions: The sample solutions were taken from the water bath at various times and the pH of each solution recorded.
The concentration of the sample solution was determined by gas chromatography (GC).

Samples: To duplicate aliquots (A and B, 5 ml), 0.1 ml of diethylamine and approximately 0.5 g sodium chloride were added. The solutions were extracted with three portions (3 x 10 ml) of dichloromethane. The combined extracts were diluted to 50 ml using dichloromethane.

Standards: Duplicate standard solutions of test item were prepared in dichloromethane at a nominal concentration of 400 mg/l.

Matrix blanks: An aliquot (5 ml) of relevant buffer solution was treated as per a sample.
Buffers:
Specification of buffer solutions

7 Disodium hydrogen orthophosphate (anhydrous) 0.03
Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate 0.02
Sodium chloride 0.02
9 Disodium tetraborate 0.01
Sodium chloride 0.02
The buffer solutions were filtered through a 0.2 µm membrane filter to ensure they were sterile before commencement of the test. Also these solutions were subjected to ultrasonication and degassing with nitrogen to minimise dissolved oxygen content.
