Details on sampling:

Three series of the reference solutions were measured with two parallel injections each. Three series of the test item solution were measured with two parallel injections each. The retention times were determined. The three calibration series and three test item series were measured alternately.

Details on test conditions:

Test Solutions:
The reference items were dissolved in methanol. The concentrations of the stock solutions were about 1 mg/mL.
These stock solutions were diluted with eluent resulting in concentrations of the test solutions of approximately 10 μg/mL. The sodium nitrate and DDT stock solutions were diluted with eluent resulting in concentration of the test solution of approximately 100 and 50 μg/mL.
The test item was dissolved in methanol. The concentration of this solution was about 1 mg/mL. It was diluted with eluent to 10 μg/mL.
