Details on study design: HPLC method:

For the calibration the retention times of a series of substances with known adsorption coefficients were measured and a calibration graph was established. The adsorption coefficient of the test item was derived from its retention time and the calibration graph. Two series were injected. Each series included the calibration substances and the test item. The test item was injected in-between the series of the calibration substances.
Except for the detection wavelength the chromatographic conditions were the same for the determination of t0, the establishment of the calibration graph and the measurement of the test item.
The dead time marker was dissolved in methanol and diluted 0.1 to 1 in the mobile phase and injected as single standards twice. The calibration substances were dissolved in methanol and diluted 0.1 to 1 in the mobile phase and injected as single standards twice. The item was dissolved in methanol and diluted 0.75 to 1 with distilled water and injected as single sample twice.

Details on results (HPLC method):

The retention time of the test item was compared with a calibration/regression curve obtained by the measurement of 7 standard chemicals. The retention time of the test item was 3.1 min. Comparing with the regression, a log Koc of 7.36 was calculated. However, this log Koc was above the highest standard chemical which had a log Koc of 4.2. Therefore, a log Koc of > 4.2 is considered for the test item.

The adsorption coefficient of the test item was found to be: log Koc >4.20

Conclusions:

The log Koc of the test item was determined to be > 4.2.

Executive summary:

The adsorption/desorption of the test item was determined according to EU-method C.19 and OECD 121 using the HPLC method. The retention time of the test item was compared with a calibration/regression curve obtained by the measurement of 7 standard chemicals. The retention time of the test item was 3.1 min. Comparing with the regression, a log Koc of 7.36 was calculated. However, this log Koc was above the highest standard chemical which had a log Koc of 4.2. Therefore, a log Koc of > 4.2 is considered for the test item.
