During the main test, six samples have been analyzed in the first run (0.52 mL/min) and six samples during the second run (0.26 mL/min), each with a sampling interval of one hour. Total elution time was 95 hours. The sample measurement was performed by GC. The water solubility at 20 °C was determined to be 1.88 mg/L. The measured results differ by less than 30%. Therefore, the study is considered to be valid.

The r² fit of the calibration curve (n=6) was 1.0000. This reflects the linearity of the GC-system within the calibration range of 0.3235 mg/L to 16.175 mg/L of the test item.

Executive summary:

The water solubility of the test substance was measured under GLP according OECD 105 / EU A6 guideline, column elution method.

After calibration with six standard solutions, two experiments were conducted, with different flow rate, for 95h total elution time. Constant concentrations, measured by GC-FID, were observed, i.e. saturation achieved, and both results did not significantly differ, therefore the mean value was retained. pH was stable for all samples.

The water solubility of the test substance is 1.88 mg/L at 20°C (pH=6.5).

Description of key information
