Details on results:

Preliminary test
The content of test item dissolved in the water sample was 0.0305 mg/L centrifuging once.
Centrifuging twice the concentration was 0.011 mg/L. This difference could have been caused by the presence of undissolved material upon one-fold centrifugation or by adsorption of the test item to the wall of the centrifugation tube. This was, however, considered acceptable: sufficient information was gathered to decide that the column elution method had to be carried out in the main study.

Main study
The coefficient of variation (CV) (n = 5 at 6 mL/h and n=10 at 12 mL/h) was ≤ 30% at both flow rates. It demonstrated that the system was equilibrated at both flow rates. The maximum difference (MD) on the mean values of the samples at both flow rates was also ≤ 30%. Based on this, the water solubility of the test item is given as the mean value of these measurements.
The turbidity of the eluates was < 0.2 NTU. According to this, no undissolved particles were detected in the eluates.
No test item was detected in the samples from the blank column.

Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the physico-chemical properties for Lowinox® 22IB46

 

The column elution method was applied for the determination of the water solubility of LOWINOX® 22IB46 in accordance with the following guidelines:

European Community (EC), EC no. 260/2014, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, Guideline A.6: “Water Solubility”, Official Journal of the European Union no. L81, March 19, 2014.

Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals no. 105: "Water Solubility", July 27, 1995.

United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Product Properties Test Guidelines no. OPPTS 830.7840: "Water Solubility: Column Elution Method; Shake Flask Method", March 1998.

 

In the preliminary test the water solubility of the test item was < 10-2 g/L. Therefore, the column elution method was chosen for the main study.
