HPLC CONDITIONS
- Apparatus: Acquity UPLC system (Waters, USA)
- Detector: Acquity UPLC PDA (Waters)
- Column: Acquity UPLC HSS Cyano, 100 mm x 2.1 mm i.d., dp = 1.8 µm (Waters)
- UV detection: 210 nm
- Injection volume: 5 μL

MOBILE PHASE

Details on results (HPLC method):

Retention times of reference 4,4'-DDT (log Koc 5.53): 5.909 and 5.848 min
Retention times of test item: 6.706 and 6.678 min
Conclusions:
The log Koc of the substance was estimated to be > 5.63 (Koc> 4.3E05).


Executive summary:

The HPLC estimation method was used for the determination of the adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the substance. The study was performed in accordance with EC C.19 and OECD 121 and in compliance with GLP. The mobile phase was 55/45 (v/v) methanol/water and the wavelength of detection was 210 nm. The stationary phase contained cyanopropyl chains chemically bonded to silica. One reference substance was used: 4,4'-DDT (log Koc 5.63 based on soil-adsorption reference data). Duplicate injections of the test item and reference substance. The chromatogram of the test item showed one substance peak. The mean (n=2) retention time of the test item was 6.7 min. The mean (n=2) retention time of 4,4'-DDT was 5.9. From this it was concluded that the log Koc of the substance is > 5.63 (Koc > 4.3E05).

Description of key information
