Details on results:
The calibration solutions were prepared in 0.5 – 100 μg/mL range. The calibration samples were analysed by HPLC-UV method with three replicate injections from each. The concentration of the test item was calculated with the help of the calibration equation.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test item was determined to be -2.13 using the shake flask method. The result is also applicable for the anhydrous form of the test item.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted in accordance with OECD TG 107, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.8 and OPPTS 830.7550 to determine the partition coefficient of the test substance using the shake flask method. A stock solution of the test substance was prepared in n-octanol presaturated with water. The samples in the octanol phase were extracted with water. The water phase was diluted and analysed using HPLC. Test vessels with octanol/water mixture in different ratios were shaked for 5 minutes by hand. Separation of the two phases was achieved by centrifugation at 20 °C (5 min, 4000 rpm). Then the two phases were analysed using HPLC. The partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test item in its hydrated form was determined to be -2.13 at 20 °C. The partition coefficient for the anhydrous form is considered to be the same, as it is relevant for the organic part of the substance.
