Details on study design: HPLC method:
HPLC METHOD:
The sample, dead time and reference standard solutions were injected in duplicate using the following HPLC parameters:
- HPLC System: Agilent Technologies 1100 incorporating workstation
- Column: X SELECT HSS cyano 5 µm (150 x 4.6 mm id)
- Column temperature: 30°C
- Mobile phase: methanol:water (55:45 v/v)
- pH of mobile phase: 5.44
- Flow-rate: 1.0 ml/min
- Injection volume: 10 µl
- UV detector wavelength : dead time and reference standards: 210 nm/sample: 220 nm

PREPARATION OF THE SAMPLE
Test item (0.1046 g) was diluted to 100 ml with methanol and then diluted by a factor of 10 using methanol.

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity 99.94%, 721 mg/l solution in methanol:water 55:45 v/v).

CALCULATION
* Capacity factor
The capacity factor was determined as followed:
k = tr-t0/t0
where:
k = capacity factor
tr = retention time (min)
t0 = dead time (min)

* Adsorption Coefficient
The adsorption coefficient was calculated as followed:
Log10 Koc = Log10 k - A/B
where:
Koc = adsorption coefficient
k = capacity factor
A = intercept of the calibration curve
B = slope of the calibration curve
