HPLC method

Details on study design: HPLC method:
EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus: HPLC
- Type: Agilent Technologies 1050, incorporating autosampler and workstation
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column: Luna CN (250 x 4.6 mm id)
- Detection system: UV detector (wavelength for dead time and reference standards: 210 nm; wavelength for sample: 268 nm)

MOBILE PHASES
- Type: Methanol : Water (55:45 v/v); Flow rate: 1 mL/min
- Experiments with additives carried out on separate columns: No
- pH: 6.4 (the pH was not corrected)
- Solutes for dissolving test and reference substances: Not applicable

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (664 mg/L solution in methanol).


REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: The solutions of reference standards (detailed in Table 1) were prepared in methanol.


DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: The test material (0.2470 g) was diluted to 100 mL with dimethylsulfoxide. The injection volume was 5 µL.
- Quantity of reference substances: The concentrations of the reference standards are given in Table 1. The injection volume was 5 µL.
- Intervals of calibration: Not specified


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 determined using:
k = (t^t - t^0)/t^0
where: t^t = retention time (min); t^0 = dead time (min)
- Calculation of retention times: Not specified
- Determination of the log Koc value: The log Koc value was determined with reference to the calibration curve.
