- Sampling Intervals and Collection of Buffers, CO₂
Duplicate samples of each buffer at 20 °C were analysed at 3, 5, 10, 17, and 31 days after treatment (DAT) and samples at 50 °C were analysed at 3 and 5 DAT. Zero-time samples, used for the 20 and 50 °C data, were analysed immediately following dosing. Sterility and sample pH were measured at each time point. - Buffers:
- Each buffer was prepared at a concentration of 0.01 M in Millipore-grade water. The buffered solutions were sterilised by autoclave.
A pH 5 buffer was prepared by adding 1 L of Millipore water to sodium acetate trihydrate. Concentrated HCl was added to adjust the pH to 5.
A pH 7 buffer was made by adding concentrated HCl to tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane solution.
A pH 9 buffer was made by adding concentrated HCI to sodium tetraborate solution. - Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
- Type, material and volume of test flasks: The hydrolysis of the test material was conducted in 20-mL amber vials sealed with Teflon-lined screw caps.
- Sterilisation method: All glassware and solutions were sterilised by autoclave prior to their use in determining the hydrolytic degradation of the test material. Samples were prepared in a laminar flow hood.
- Sterility check samples: A trypticase soy broth was prepared and sterilised according to package instructions to determine the sterility of the kinetics samples. Immediately upon removal from the incubator, an aliquot (approximately 500 µL) of each sample was spiked into a labelled tube containing soy broth. The sterility check samples were then placed in a 25 °C incubator for at least 3 days. The sterility of the sample was confirmed if, after 3 days, the soy broth continued to be a clear amber solution. Sterile check samples (- controls) remained clear throughout the study period. A non-sterile check of soy broth that had been deliberately contaminated was maintained with the sterility checks. The non-sterile check was cloudy.
- Lighting: Samples were incubated in a darkened incubator
- Details of traps for volatile, if any: Samples were sealed and closed to atmosphere. No trapping of volatile organics or CO₂ was conducted. - Duration:

- Executive summary:
Hydrolysis of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with the standardised guidelines EPA Guideline Subdivision N161-1, EU Method C.7 and Canada PMRA DACO Number 8.2.3.2, SETAC Section 9.
Hydrolysis of radiolabelled test material at 0.4 mg a.i./L was studied in the dark at 20 °C in sterile aqueous buffered solutions at pH 5 (acetate), pH 7 (tris hydroxymethyl aminomethane), and pH 9 (borate) for 31 days and at 50 °C for 5 days.
Samples incubated at 20 °C were analysed at 0, 3, 5, 10, 17, and 31 days and samples incubated at 50 °C were analysed at 0, 3, and 5 days. The test material residues were analysed by LSC and reverse phase HPLC.
Material balance was 99.3 ± 0.8 %, 99.3 ± 1.2 % and 96.9 ± 1.2 % of the applied radiocarbon at pH 5, pH 7 and pH 9, respectively, for the samples incubated at 20 °C. Material balance was 98.9 ± 1.0 %, 98.8 ± 1.5 % and 96.3 ± 1.2 % of the applied radiocarbon at pH 5, pH 7 and pH 9, respectively, for the samples incubated at 50 °C. At test termination, the concentration of test material remained 100 % AR in pH 5, 7, and 9 at 20 and 50 °C.
Therefore, under the conditions of the study, the test material was found to be hydrolytically stable at pH 5, 7, and 9 at 20 and 50 °C.
