HPLC method

Details on study design: HPLC method:
EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus: Agilent Technologies 1100, incorporating autosampler and workstation
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column: Phenosphere-NEXT 5µ CN (250 x 4.6 mm id)
- Detection system: UV detector, wavelength: dead time and reference standards: 210 nm; sample: 260 nm

MOBILE PHASES
- Type: methanol:water (55:45 v/v)
- pH: 7.0
- Solutes for dissolving test and reference substances: methanol

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity* ≥99.5%, 685 mg/L solution in methanol). *value quoted by supplier

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
Standard Purity (%)* Concentration (mg/L)
Acetanilide ~99 106
Phenol 99.99 223
Atrazine 99.2 100
Isoproturon 99.9 200
Triadimenol 98.5 146
Linuron 99 115
Naphthalene ≥99.0 109
Endosulfan-diol 99.9 101
Fenthion 96 144
α-Endosulfan 99.8 109
Phenanthrene ≥97.0 104
Diclofop-methyl 99.3 107
DDT 98 253

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: Injection volume: 10 µL
- Quantity of reference substances: Injection volume: 10 µL

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: The sample, formamide and reference standard solutions were injected in duplicate

EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k': The capacity factor was calculated using: k = (tr-t0)/t0 ; where: k=capacity factor, r=retention time (min), t0=dead time (min)
- Determination of the log Koc value: A calibration curve was constructed from the retention time data of the formamide and reference standard solutions; the log10 Koc value was determined with reference to the calibration curve (Fig. 12.1 of attached study report)
