Temperature

The column temperature was measured by a data logger with an interval of 2 minutes.

The mean temperature was inside the range of 20 - 25 °C ± 1 °C during the course of the study.

 

Signal-to-Noise

The signal-to-noise ratio for the void time marker, reference items and the test item was > 3.

 

Determination of the Void Time

A HPLC void time of 0.671 minutes (average) was determined by threefold injection of a solution of 5 mg/L Sodium nitrate.

 

Calibration

The retention time data of the reference items used for calibration are given in the following table.

Conclusions

Two individual Log POW values were derived under consideration of the first and second calibration and a mean value was calculated from these individual Log POW values. The mean column temperature was determined to be 23.0 °C during the course of the study.

The Log POW of the test item was determined to be 1.58.

Conclusions:
A log Kow of 1.58 at 23 °C was determined for the test substance according to OECD 117.
