Details on results:
The test substance, which eluted as a very broad range of peaks between approximately 1.6 and 3.2 minutes, was thus found to have log10Pow values ranging from 0.5 to 4.6. The main chromatographic component at approximately 1.9 minutes was determined to have a log10Pow value of 2.2.
