Details on results:
The preliminary test estimated the partition coefficient to be 178 at 21.0 ± 0.5 °C, log Pow of 2.25 with a total phase recovery of 101%.

The shake-flask method was chosen over the HPLC method as the test item contained fluorine atoms. As the reference items used for the HPLC method do not have an equivalent number of fluorine atoms to calibrate against, it was uncertain how accurate a result would be.

In the definitive test, the peak areas obtained for the standard, stock and sample solutions were determined and used to obtain the concentration of test item in each of the aqueous and organic samples. Using these analysed concentrations, the partition coefficient was determined for each sample flask and is presented below. Due to an interfering peak in the aqueous matrix blank, the area for this peak was subtracted from the area of the standards and samples prior to calculation of the sample concentrations.
