CALIBRATION
- Concentrations of the calibration samples were 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 2, 5, 10 and 20 μg/mL. The calibration graph was calculated applying weighted linear regression using 1/concentration as weighting factor.

ANALYSIS OF THE TEST MATERIAL SAMPLES
- Measured concentrations of the test material on the two parallel columns using two different flow rates were recorded.
- Most of the measured values were below the quantitation limit; therefore calculation of the mean value is not feasible.
- Based on the measured data water solubility of the test material was considered to be less than 0.01 μg/mL (corresponds to the quantitation limit of the analytical method corrected with the tenfold concentration factor) at 20 ± 1°C.

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, the water solubility of the test material was considered to be less than 0.01 μg/mL (corresponds to the quantitation limit of the analytical method corrected with the tenfold concentration factor) at 20 ± 1°C.

Executive summary:

The water solubility of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 105 and EU Method A.6, under GLP conditions.

The column elution method was applied and samples were analysed with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Two parallel tests were performed.

Measured concentrations of the test material on the two parallel columns using two different flow rates were recorded. Most of the measured values were below the quantitation limit; therefore calculation of the mean value was not feasible.

Under the conditions of this study, the water solubility of the test material is considered to be less than 0.01 μg/mL (corresponds to the quantitation limit of the analytical method corrected with the tenfold concentration factor) at 20 ± 1°C.
