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, 7 and 9 were maintained at 50.0 ± 0.5°C for a period of 5 days.
Analysis of sample solutions
The sample solutions were removed from incubation at various times and the pH of each solution recorded.
The concentration of the sample solution was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with mass selective (MS) detection.
Samples: Duplicate aliquots (A and B) of sample solution were diluted by a factor of 1000 using methanol.
Standards: Duplicate standard solutions of test material were prepared in methanol at a nominal concentration of 2.0 mg/l.

Buffers:

Potassium hydrogen phthalate at pH 4
Disodium hydrogen orthophosphate (anhydrous), potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate and sodium chloride at pH 7
Disodium tetraborate and sodium chloride at pH 9

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

Less than 10% hydrolysis after 5 days at 50°C, equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25°C at pH 4 at 50.0 ± 0.5ºC (Table 1).
Less than 10% hydrolysis after 5 days at 50°C, equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25°C at pH 7 at 50.0 ± 0.5ºC (Table 2).
Less than 10% hydrolysis after 5 days at 50°C, equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25°C at pH 9 at 50.0 ± 0.5ºC (Table 3).

Test performance:

The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 0 to 5 mg/l. This was satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of 0.996 being obtained.
