Column eluent fractions:

The chromatograms of the three eluent fractions analysed by GC-MS are shown in Figure 3.2, Figure 3.3 and Figure 3.4 - Attachment 4 of this Summary.

All the test item isomers where present in the second fraction of column eluent, confirming that all the isomers came off the column after nonane and just before dodecane.

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Please see the Executive Summary below for the Conclusion.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using an HPLC method, designed to be compatible with Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

 

The test system consisted of a high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) with a suitable detector. A reverse phase HPLC column with a very low percentage of polar groups was used (e.g. C8, C18). The mobile phase contained at least 25% aqueous phase.

Conclusion

The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be in the range of 1.21 x 106to 3.05 x 106, log10 Powin the range of 6.08 to 6.48.
