Specific details on test material used for the study:
Identification: FRET 11-0078
Appearance/physical state: clear, colorless liquid
Storage conditions: approximately 4 °C, in the dark
Radiolabelling:
no
Test temperature:
30°C
Details on study design: HPLC method:
The test system utilized a high performance liquid chromatograph. A commercially available cyanopropyl reverse phase HPLC column containing lipophilic and polar moieties was used.

Preparation of sample solution
Test item (0.1037 g) was diluted to 200 mL with acetonitrile to give a concentration of 519 mg/L

Preparation of dead time solution
The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity 99.94%, 615 mg/L solution in methanol).

Determination of retention time
The sample, dead time and reference standard solutions were injected in duplicate using the following HPLC parameters:
HPLC System: Agilent Technologies 1200 Series, incorporating autosampler and workstation
Detector type: ultraviolet (UV) at 210 nm
Column: Xselect HSS Cyano 5 µm (150 x 4.6 mm id)
Column temperature: 30 ºC
Mobile phase: methanol: water (55:45 v/v)
pH of mobile phase: 5.8
Flow-rate: 1.0 mL/min
Injection volume: 10 µL

Calculation
Construction of calibration curve
A calibration curve was constructed from the retention time data of the dead time and reference standard solutions. The capacity factors (k') for the reference standards were calculated.

Adsorption coefficient of sample
The capacity factor was calculated using the equation below and the log10 Koc value determined with reference to the calibration curve.

Capacity factor
The capacity factor was determined using the equation below.
k' = (tr-t0)/t0
where:
k'= capacity factor
tr= retention time (min)
t0= dead time (min)
A correlation of log k' versus log Koc of the calibration standards was plotted using linear regression.

Adsorption Coefficient
The adsorption coefficient was calculated using the following equation.
Log10 Koc = (Log10 k' - A)/B

where:
Koc= adsorption coefficient
k'= capacity factor
A= intercept of the calibration curve
B= slope of the calibration curve

Key result
Type:
log Koc
Remarks:
Mean log Koc of injection #1 and #2
Value:
2.96 dimensionless
pH:
5.8
Temp.:
30 °C
Details on results (HPLC method):
Adsorption coefficient:
Overall log10 Koc: 2.96
Adsorption coefficient: 906

The method guidelines state that the measurement of adsorption coefficient should be carried out on substances in their ionized and unionized forms (where appropriate). However, the absence of any relevant dissociation constants negates this requirement for this test item and therefore a single determination was performed, at an approximately neutral pH, with the test item in an unionized form.
