Dead time
The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of a 292 mg/l solution of formamide (purity 99.5%*) in methanol.

The HPLC parameters were as follows:
Column: Hypersil CN – BDS 5μ (250 x 4.6 mm id)
Column temperature: 30 °C
Mobile phase: methanol:water (50:50) *
Flow rate: 1 ml/min
Injection volume: 25 μl
Wavelengths: reference standards and dead time - 210 nm; sample - 343 nm
* pH - 7.40.

Calculation
The capacity factor (k) is calculated using equation:

k = (tR – t0) / t0

where:
tR = retention time of the substance (mins)
t0 = dead time (mins)

Details on results (HPLC method):
Under the conditions of the test, the test material showed negligible retention on the HPLC column. The log10 Koc was deduced by direct comparison of the sample retention time with that of the reference standard having the lowest log10 K0c value.
