Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance is stable and homogeneous for more than 72 hours in DMSO (0.1 and 50 mg/ml) and in ethanol (0.1 and 50 mg/ml) at room temperature.
Executive summary:

The stability of the substance in DMSO and ethanol was tested by stirring it in these solvents at room temperature in concentrations of 0.1 mg/L and 50 mg/L. After dilution with methanol, the concentrations were determined by HPLC. It was found that the substance is stable under these conditions.
