Method
- The determination was carried out using the HPLC screening method, designed to be compatible with Method 121 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 22 January 2001 and Method C19 Adsorption Coefficient of Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Procedure
- Preparation of dead time solution: The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity 99.5%, 753 mg/l solution in methanol:water (55:45 v/v)).
- Preparation of reference standard solutions: Solutions of reference standards (See 'any other information on materials and methods' section) were prepared in methanol.
- Preparation of sample solution: Test item (1.0076 g) was diluted to 100 ml with 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 1100, incorporating autosampler and workstation; Column: CN OPTIMAL 5µ (150 x 4.6 mm id); Column temperature: 40°C; Mobile phase: methanol:water (55:45 v/v); pH of mobile phase: 7.1; Flow-rate: 1.0 ml/min; Injection volume: 10 µl; UV detector wavelength: dead time and reference standards: 210 nm - sample: 220 nm
Typical chromatography: See attachments:
- Construction of calibration curve: A calibration curve was constructed from the retention time data of the deadtime and reference standard solutions (see attachment: curve). The capacity factors (k) for the reference standards were calculated using equation in attachment (calculations).
- Adsorption coefficient of sample: The capacity factor was calculated using equation in attachment (calculations) and the log10Koc value determined using equation in attachment (calculations) with reference to the calibration curve (see attachment: curve).
