Performance of the Test
Preparation of dead time solution
The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity* 99.6%) at 646 mg/L solution in methanol.
Preparation of reference standard solutions
Solutions of reference standards (see following table) were prepared in methanol.
Standard Purity (%)* Concentration (mg/L)
Acetanilide 99+ 103
Atrazine 99.1 103
Triadimenol 98.0 100
Linuron 99.7 101
Naphthalene 99.0 110
Endosulfan-diol 99.9 104
Fenthion 97.5 112
Endosulfan 99.6 107
Phenanthrene ≥99.5 107
Diclofop-methyl 99.1 115
DDT 98.7 104


Preparation of sample solution
Test item (0.1997g) was diluted to 20 mL with tetrahydrofuran and further diluted by a factor of 10 to give a concentration of 0.999 g/L.

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 1200, incorporating workstation and autosampler
Detectors : Agilent variable wavelength detector (VWD)
evaporative light scattering (ELS)
Column : Waters XSelect HSS CN 5µm (150 x 4.6 mm id)
Column temperature : 30 °C
Mobile phase : methanol:water (55:45 v/v)
pH of mobile phase : 3.0, adjusted with trifluoroacetic acid
Flow-rate : 1.0 mL/min
Injection volume : 5 µL
VWD wavelength : 210 nm (dead time and reference standards)
ELSD parameters : nebuliser temperature: 40 °C
evaporator temperature: 80 °C
gas flow: 1.0 L/min

The mobile phase was ramped to 100% tetrahydrofuran shortly after the elution of the last reference standard in order to elute any highly retained test item components. This was carried out for the sample and sample blank injections only.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine adsorption/desorption coefficient of the test substance. The determination was carried out using the HPLC screening method, designed to be compatible with OECD Guideline 121 and EU Method C.19. The test system utilized a high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). A commercially available cyanopropyl reverse phase HPLC column containing lipophilic and polar moieties was used. Under the study conditions, the adsorption coefficient of the test substance wasdetermined to be in the range of 1.10+E5 to >4.27+E5, log10 Koc of 5.04 to > 5.63. This result classifies the test substance as immobile (Envigo, 2018).
