ABSTRACT
The pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion of perfluorooctanesulfonate were investigated in male and female cynomolgus monkeys. Three male and three female monkeys were administered a single iv bolus dose of 2 mg/kg of perfluorooctanesulfonate, potassium salt (T-6295). At various times after dosing, serum and urine (24-hour collections) samples were obtained and analyzed by HPLC/MS/MS for levels of intact perfluorooctanesulfonate. The lower limit of quantitation of the analytical method was 10 ng/mL for serum samples and 5 ng/mL for urine samples. At 0.5 hours after dosing (earliest time point), serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate appeared to be slightly higher in male monkeys than in female monkeys and ranged from 13,790to 16,250 ng/mL in male monkeys and from 7,871 to 11,790 ng/mL in female monkeys. Serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate then decreased relatively rapidly in each monkey through the first 24 hours after dosing and, at 24 hours, ranged from 7,039 to 9,538 ng/mL in male monkeys and 5,042 to 7,294 ng/mL in female monkeys. With the exception of one male and
one female monkey, serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate remained essentially
constant between Days 7 and 70. Thereafter, serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate decreased in all animals and ranged from 3,803 to 3,840 ng/mL in the male monkeys and from 2,019 to 2,781 ng/mL in the female monkeys on Day 161. The serum concentration versus time data were subjected to non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis. The serum terminal half-life of perfluorooctanesulfonate ranged from 122 to 146 days (mean: 132 days) in male monkeys and from 88 to 138 days (mean: 110 days) in female monkeys. The total body clearance of perfluorooctanesulfonatewas 1.O to 1.2 mL/day/kg in male monkeys and 1.6 to 2.1 mL/day/kg in female monkeys. The volume of distribution of perfluorooctanesulfonate ranged from 178 to 220 mL/kg and from 231 to 327 d / k g in male and female monkeys, respectively. Only very low levels (SO. 1 % of the administered dose) of perfluorooctanesulfonate were measured in urine during any given 24-hour period of sample collection between Day 1 and Day 91 after dosing. The results of this study provided no clear indication that the pharmacokinetics of perfluorooctanesulfonate were different in male and female monkeys. Perfluorooctanesulfonate was eliminated in urine by both male and female monkeys at low levels for a prolonged period of time (291 days) after iv administration.

1.0 Introduction
The objectives of this study were to determine the concentration of potassium perfluorooctanesulfonate in serum and to estimate urinary clearance at various times following administration of a single intravenous dose to monkeys. A copy of the protocol can be found in Appendix A.
2.0 Materials and Methods
2.1 Test System The three male and three female cynomolgus monkeys designated for use in this study were selected from an in-house colony of monkeys that were housed at Southern Research Institute (Southern Research) prior to use on this study. These monkeys were purchased fiom Charles River BRF, Inc. (Houston, TX) and were an estimated 3.5-4.5 years of age when placed on study. Individual animal identification was by chest tattoo. The cynomolgus monkey is an accepted species to support clinical studies of drugs used or intended for use in humans.
During the quarantine period, a complete physical examination including a fecal examination for internal parasites, complete blood count (CBC), body weight, and rectal temperature was performed on each of the monkeys. The following procedures were performed on the monkeys during quarantine: (1) Three tuberculin tests were administered to each animal at 2-week intervals. All tuberculin tests were administered intrapalpebrally. The three tuberculin tests were negative for all monkeys. (2) Blood was drawn for CBC and B virus titer. (3) Fecal cultures (screening for Salmonella and Shigella) were obtained, and fecal flotation tests were performed. (4) In general, primates were examined at least once weekly by an approved veterinarian and were observed (cage-side observations recorded by exception only) twice daily for abnormal clinical signs and mortality/moribundity. Housing, feed, water, and socialization procedures remained the same during the quarantine, holding, and study periods.

Certified, commercial, dry monkey chow #5048 (PMI Feeds, Inc., St. Louis, MO) was fed to the monkeys 2-3 times each day. The quantity of the daily ration was sufficient to meet nutritional requirements. In addition, the diet was supplemented with fiesh fruit/treats several times each week. Tap water (Birmingham public water supply) was available to the monkeys ad libitum during the quarantine and study periods. The monkeys were housed individually in stainless steel cages during the quarantine and the study periods. From Day 0 to the end of the study, the monkeys were housed in a room that was maintained at a temperature of 66.4-71.5 OF and a relative humidity of 25-74%. The humidity was withm the required range (30-70%) over 90% of the time during the study; excursions below the recommended humidity range were of short duration and had no impact on animal health or the outcome of the study. Room lights were controlled by an automatic timer set to provide 12 hours of light (0600 to 1800 hours, CST) and 12 hours of dark per day. Cage size and animal care conformed to the guidelines of the Guidefor the Care and Use ofLaboratory Animals, 7th edition'') and the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Animal Welfare Act (Public Law 99-198) and to the applicable Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) of Southern Research. The study design was approved by Southern Research's Institute Animal Care and Use Committee. Southern Research is fully accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International.
With the exception of animal 2053, all of the monkeys used on this study were previously given a single iv bolus dose of perfluorobutanesulfonate(10 mgkg) on 4/10/00 (Southern Research Study No. 9921.1); a single iv bolus dose of potassium perfluorobutanoate (10 m a g ) on 6/13/00 (southern Research Study No. 9921.2); a single iv bolus dose of potassium perfluorohexanoate(10 mgkg) on 7/31/00 (Southern Research Study No. 9921.3); and a single iv bolus dose of potassium perfluorooctanoate (10 mgkg) on 10/9/00 (Southern Research Study No. 9921.4). In addition, all monkeys used on this study were given a single iv bolus dose of potassium perfluorohexanesulfonate (10 mg/kg) on 2/9/01 (Southern Research Study No. 9921.5).

2.2 Test Article and Vehicle Test Article: One bottle containing 6.65 grams of potassium perfluorooctanesulfonate (T6295; expiration date not supplied; SFU E05L-1) was supplied by 3M (St. Paul, MN) and received on May 15, 2000. The test article was stored at room temperature until used. Stability of the test article was the responsibility of the Sponsor.
Vehicle: The vehicle used for the preparation of the dose formulation of potassium perfluorooctanesulfonatewas sterile saline, USP (Phoenix Pharmaceutical Company; St. Joseph, MO; Lot 102049F, expiration date February 2004). The vehicle was stored at room temperature and was considered to be stable when stored according to these conditions.
Dose Formulation Preparation: For the single dose formulation of potassium perfluorooctanesulfonate prepared at 1 mg/mL,, the required amount of test article was weighed out in a volumetric flask. Sterile saline was added and the formulation was stirred until in solution. The formulation was stored refkigerated and used for dosing on the same day of preparation; it was considered stable during this period.
Dose Formulation Analyses: Dose concentration and homogeneity analyses were not required to be performed.
2.3 Experimental Design Group Assignment and Dose Procedure: As only one treatment group was used in this study, no formal randomization was required. On Day 0, each of the three male and three female monkeys received a single intravenous (iv) dose of perfluorooctanesulfonate at 2 mgkg by injection into a superficial arm or leg vein. Doses were based upon the individual body weights obtained on the day of dosing. Doses were administered at a volume of 2
mLikg.
Clinical Observations: All animals were observed twice daily for signs of mortality/moribundity. Each primate was examined shortly after dose administration for
4
clinical signs of toxicity. Additional clinical observations were performed on days of blood collection, with the exception of Day 21 when clinical observations were not performed due to technician error.
Body Weights: Each primate was weighed on Days 0,4,7, 14,21,28,42,56,70, 85, 105, 126, and 151.
Urine and Feces Collection: Urine and feces were collected for 24-hour intervals on the following days: prior to dose administration (Day -3; baseline), on Day 1 (0-24 hours postdose), on Day 2 (24-48 hours postdose), and on Days 7, 15,21,28,42,56,70, and 91. The volume of each urine sample was measured upon collection. Urine and feces samples were stored fi-ozen (approximately -20 "C or below). Fecal samples will not be analyzed unless specificallyrequested by the Sponsor.
Serum Levels of Perfluorooctanesulfonate: Blood samples (approximately 3 mL) were collected from each primate at approximately 0 (predose) minutes; 0.5, 2, 4, 8, 24 and 48 hours; and on Days 4, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 56, 70, 105, and 161 postdose. Samples were collected into tubes without anticoagulant and were allowed to clot at room temperature. The blood samples were then centrifuged, and the serum separated and stored frozen (approximately -20 "C or below) until analyzed.
Bioanalytical Method Development and Sample Analysis: Serum and urine samples were analyzed for perfluorooctanesulfonate using a previously validated HPLC/MS/MS method (Appendix B). The lower limit of quantitation of the method was 10 ng/mL for serum samples and 5 ng/mL for urine samples.
Data Analyses: The serum concentration data for unchanged perfluorooctanesulfonatewere subjected to noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis using WinNonlin (Standard Edition; Version 1.1; Scientific Consulting Inc.; Cary, NC). Mean values and standard deviations for each parameter were calculated using Microsoft@Excel Software (Microsoft
5
Corporation; Irvine, CA). The urinary excretion of perfluorooctanesulfonate at each collection interval was calculated and expressed as a percent of the administered dose. No other statistical analyses of the data were performed.
3.0 Results
3.1 Mortality All of the monkeys in this study survived to the end of the study.
3.2 Clinical Observations No adverse drug-related clinical signs were noted for any monkey during the course of this study.
3.3 Body Weights Body weights are presented in Table 1. Each monkey either gained weight or maintained essentially a constant weight between Day 0 and Day 151 (last day during the study that body weights were obtained).
3.4 Serum and Urine Concentrations of Perfluorooctanesulfonate Serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate in three male and three female monkeys at various times through Day 161 after administration of a single iv dose of 2 m a g are presented in Table 2 and in Figure 1. At 0.5 hours after dosing (earliest time point), serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate appeared to be slightly higher in male monkeys than in femalemonkeys and ranged from 13,790to 16,250n g h L in male monkeys and from 7,871 to 11,790 ng/mL in female monkeys. Serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonatethen decreased relatively rapidly in each monkey through the first 24 hours after dosing and ranged fiom 7,039 to 9,538 ng/mL in the three male monkeys and from 5,042 to 7,294 ng/mL in two of the female monkeys at 24 hours; data for the other female monkey was not obtained at this time point. A trough in serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate was observed in individual monkeys between Days 2 and 7. This trough was followed by an increase and subsequent plateau in serum concentrations of
6
perfluorooctanesulfonate; for all except one male and one female monkey (M2054 and F2058), serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate remained essentially constant between Days 7 and 70. Thereafter, serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate decreased in all monkeys and ranged from 3,803 to 3,840 ng/mL in the male monkeys and from 2,019 to 2,781 ng/mL in the female monkeys on Day 161.
To confirm the reproducibility of the analytical method, selected serum samples collected from individual monkeys at various times during the study were re-analyzed approximately 3 months after their initial analysis. The results of these determinations are presented in Table 3. The results of the first and second analyses of each serum sample were in good agreement (within 20% of the initially determined concentration) with each other.
Pharmacokinetic parameters calculated from serum concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonatein individualmonkeys are presented in Table 4. A U C , - ~ ,v,alues ranged from 1666 to 1877 pg*day/mL in male monkeys and from 932 to 1259 pg.day/mL in female monkeys. The terminal half-life of perfluorooctanesulfonate in serum ranged from 122to 146days (mean: 132days) in the three male monkeys and fiom 88 to 138days (mean: 110days) in the three female monkeys. The total body clearance of perfluorooctanesulfonate was 1.Oto 1.2 mL/day/kg in male monkeys and 1.6 to 2.1 mL/day/kg in female monkeys. The volume of distribution of perfluorooctanesulfonate ranged fkom 178 to 220 mLkg in male monkeys and fkom 231 to 327 mLkg in female monkeys.
The amount of perfluorooctanesulfonate eliminated in urine by individual monkeys at various times after dosing is presented in Table 5. Only very low levels (50.1% of the administered dose) of perfluorooctanesulfonate were measured in urine during any given 24hour period of sample collection between Day 1 and Day 91 after dosing. There was no clear indication of a sex-related difference in the urinary excretion of perfluorooctanesulfonate. The urinary excretion of perfluorooctanesulfonatewas prolonged; detectable levels of the compound were present in urine on Day 91 (last day of urine collection) after dosing.

4.0 Discussion
The results of this study indicated that perfluorooctanesulfonate was detectable in male and female monkeys for a prolonged period of time after administration of a single iv dose of 2 mgkg. Among individual male and female monkeys, the apparent terminal elimination half-life of perfluorooctanesulfonate was estimated to be 88-146 days. In addition, it was found that only low levels of perfluorooctanesulfonatewere excreted in urine by either male or female monkeys during any given 24-hour period of sample collection. For either sex, the urinary excretion of perfluorooctanesulfonatewas prolonged; the compound was still present in urine at 91 days after dosing (longest time point that urine samples were collected). From the serum concentration versus time data and the urinary excretion data, there was no clear indication the pharmacokinetics of perfluorooctanesulfonate were different in male and female monkeys.
A summary of estimated phannacolunetic parameters and urinary excretion data obtained during this and previous investigations with various perfluoro-compounds is presented in Appendix C. For the C6 and C8 carboxylated derivatives, and possibly the C4 carboxylated compound, the serum pharmacokinetics appeared to be different in male and female monkeys. Sex differences in pharrnacokinetic parameters were less apparent for the C4, C6, and C8 sulfonated derivatives.
5.0 Conclusions
There was no clear indication that the serum kinetics of perfluorooctanesulfonatewere different in male and female monkeys. Perfluorooctanesulfonate was eliminated in urine by both male and female monkeys at low levels for a prolonged period of time (291 days) after iv administration.

8.1 JUSTIFICATION:
Primates are commonly used in preclinical pharmacological and toxicological evaluations of compounds used or intended for use in humans, or to which humans might be exposed.
8.2 HOUSING:
During quarantine/acclimation and study, animals will be individually housed in stainless steel, slat-bottom cages. All animals will be housed in a room that provides a minimum of 10 air exchanges per hour. Controls will be set to maintain the animal room at a temperature of 64-84 "F and a relative humidity of 30-70%. A 12-hour light/l2-hour dark cycle will be routinely maintained. Animals will be acclimated in the same room used for study.
8.3 BEDDING:
None required for caging equipped with flushable pans. For cages equipped with excrement absorption pans, commercial heat-treated hardwood chip bedding will be used for excrement absorption. Analyses of the bedding, suppliedby the vendor, will be reviewed by the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Bioresources (DVMB) of Southern Research to assure that no known contaminants are present that could affect the health of the animals.
8.4 DIET:
Diet will be commercial Certified Primate Chow #I5048 (PMI Feeds, Inc.; St. Louis, MO). The primates will be offered feed twice daily, with approximately the recommended daily ration available at each feeding interval. In addition, the diet will be supplemented with fresh fruit offered daily and treats offered several times each week. The quantity of the daily ration will be sufficient to meet nutritional requirements. Analyses of the feed, supplied by the vendor, will be reviewed by the DVMB of Southern Research to assure that no known contaminants are present that could affect the health of the animals.

STUDY NO.: 9921.6
July 26,2001
8.5 WATER:
Water (Birmingham public water supply) will be supplied ad libitum during the quarantine and study periods via an automatic watering system. Samples of water from the animal facility will be periodically analyzed, and the analyses will be reviewed by the DVMB of Southern Research to assure that no known contaminants are present that could affect the health of the animals.
8.6 QUARANTINE:
All primates were selected from stock animals that were quarantined for a minimum of 35 days upon receipt at Southern Research. No prophylactic or therapeutic treatments were administered during the quarantine period. Standard procedures conducted during the quarantine period were as follows:
a) A complete physical examination including a fecal examination for internal parasites, complete blood count (CBC), body weight, and body (rectal) temperature was performed; b) three tuberculin tests at 2-week intervals (administered intrapalpebrally, using alternate eyelids for each test) were performed on each primate. Primates tested negative to all three tests prior to release from quarantine. ;c) the blood sample drawn for CBC was also used for measurement of B virus titer; d) a fecal sample for culture (screening for SaZmoneZZa and ShigeZZa) was obtained and submitted to an independent laboratory for analysis; and e) all primates were examined at least once weekly by a veterinarian and observed (cage-side observations) twice daily for abnormal clinical observations and mortality/moribundity.
Throughout the subsequent holding and study periods, monkeys will be maintained under conditions similar to those for quarantine. In addition, quarterly evaluations to be performed on each monkey will include tuberculin testing, body weight determination, and body temperature measurement. Primates that respond positively to a tuberculin test will be euthanized immediately.
8.7 PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEINGAND SOCIALIZATION:
Nonhuman primates will be provided a psychological well-being program for social enrichment as directed by a veterinarian and approved by the IACUC and in accordance with the appropriate SOP. Nonhuman primates will be provided cage and feeding regimen modifications daily for their psychological well-being. The modifications include, but are not limited to: swings, perches, Kong toys, clean 2liter soft drink bottles, puzzle feeders, nutritionally sound primate treats, unshelled

peanuts, and raw h i t . Where possible, primates will be housed proximate to one another for visual and vocal contact.
8.8 ANIMALIDENTIFICATION:
The primates will be individually identified by chest tattoo number or letter combination. Positive identification will be required after every cage change and prior to blood sampling, dose administration, and observation.
9.0 EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN:
As only one treatment group will be used in this study, no formal randomization will be required.
Doses will be administered by intravenous injection to determine the pharmacokinetics of the test article. Each primate (three males, three females) will receive a single dose of potassium perfluorooctanesulfonate by injection into a superficial arm or leg vein.
Blood samples for serum drug level determinations will be collected fiom each primate at selected time points during the study. Urine and feces will also be collected at predetermined intervals.
A synopsis of the study design is presented in the following table.

9.2 DOSEPROCEDURE:
July 26,2001
Paee 9 of 13
Each primate (three males, three females) will receive a single intravenous (IV)dose
of potassium perfluorooctanesulfonate(2 mgkg) by injection into a superficial arm or leg vein. Doses will be based upon the most recent individual body weights. Doses will be administered at a volume of 2 mL/kg. The day of dosing will be Day 0 of the study.
9.3 CLINICAOLBSERVATIONS:
Daily Observations: All monkeys will be observed once daily during the holding period and twice daily, morning and afternoon, at least 4 hours apart, during the study for signs of mortality/moribundity and overt toxicity. Animals found in extremis will be humanely sacrificed by an overdose of barbiturate followed by exsanguination with appropriate approval.
Detailed Observations: Each primate will be examined shortly after dose administration for detailed clinical signs of toxicity. All findings will be recorded. Additional clinical observations will be performed and recorded on days of blood collection.
9.4 BODYWEIGHTS:
Each primate will be weighed on Days -1, 4, 7, 14, 21, and 28 and at bi-weekly (Days 42,56,70, and 84) or tri-weekly (105, 126, 147) intervals thereafter through the end of the study.
9.5 URINE AND FECESCOLLECTIONS:
Urine and feces will be collected for approximate 24 hour intervals prior to dosing and on Days 1 (0-24 hours postdose), 2 (24-48 hours post dose), 7, 14,21,28,42,56, 70 and 91. The volume of each urine sample will be measured upon collection. All
samples collected will be stored frozen at -20 "Cor below prior to analysis (urine)
or until further notice by the Sponsor (feces).
9.6 SERUMDRUGLEVELS:
Blood samples (approximately 3 mL) will be collected from each primate at approximately0 (predose) minutes; 0.5,2,4,8, and 24 hours; and 2,4,7, 14,21,28, 42,56, 70, 105, and 161 days after dosing. Additional blood samples may be taken at subsequent times if requested by the Sponsor. Samples will be collected into tubes

without anticoagulant and will be allowed to clot at room temperature. The blood samples will then be centrifuged, and the serum will be separated and stored fiozen at -20 "C or below until analyzed.
9.7 BIOANALYTICMALETHODDEVELOPMENT:
Bioanalytical method(s) will be developed for the determination of perfluorooctanesulfonate in serum and urine matrices. The method(s) will be
validated for accuracy and ideally will be sensitive to the 1ppm or less level. Iffeces
andor other tissues require analyses, these analyses will be negotiated with the Sponsor.
9.8 BIOANALYTICASALMPLAENALYSIS:
The serum and urine samples fiom all monkeys will be analyzed for concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate using the previously validated method. The data will be expressed as equivalents of potassium perfluorooctanesulfonate. Feces will be analyzed only if requested by the Sponsor.
9.9 ANIMALDISPOSITION:
At the end of the study, monkeys willbe maintained inthe stock colony. In the event
untoward reactions or other conditions warrant the euthanasia of a monkey at any time during the sample collection period, a serum sample (5-10 mL) will be obtained from the animal prior to euthanasia. After euthanasia, the animal will be necropsied and the liver and bile (as much as possible) will be removed and stored at approximately -70 "C.
10.0 DATA ANALYSIS:
Pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., AUC, half-life, clearance) will be estimated fi-om serum concentrations of unchanged perfluorooctanesulfonate, as appropriate and feasible, using a standard pharmacokineticprogram.
The total amount of perfluorooctanesulfonate in urine will be calculated and expressed in terms of percent of dose.
Mean values and standard deviations will be calculated for each time point and sample type, as appropriate. No other statistical analyses of the data will be performed.

Comments on Study Data
The followingis a list of protocol andor SOP deviations that occurred during t h s study. Unless otherwise noted, the Study Director determined these deviations to have no adverse impact on the outcome of the study.
The protocol required that urine collections be conducted on Day 14. In order to accommodate the laboratory schedule, the collections specified for Day 14 were made on Day 15.
Due to an oversight at protocol development, the protocol lists Day 161 as 12/31/01 in the "Serum Drug Levels" section of Section 5.0. Day 161 was actually on 1/7/02, and serum was collected on that day instead of 12/31/01.
Due to technician error, a clinical observation was not recorded on Day 21 (8/20/01).
In the data for this study, recording errors occurred but were corrected in accordance with the applicable SOPS.

2.0 2.1 2.1.1 2.1.2
PRINCIPLE
Serum or urine samples are obtained fkom cynomolgus monkeys treated with Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS). The serum or urine (e.g., 0.5 mL) containing (PFOS) ' is fortified with an internal standard (IS), Perfluorooctanecarboxalate (PFOC). The samples are then mixed with an ion-pairing reagent, buffer and water, followed by extractionwith ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer is removed, evaporated to dryness, reconstituted in 95% methanol containing 1.5 % formic acid, 5 % 5 m M ammonium acetate, filtered, and transferred to autosampler vials, and analyzed by HPLC Mass Spectrometryhfass Spectrometry(IPLCIMSNS). The range of reliable results extends from about 20 to 10,000 n g / d of PFOS in serum and from 10to 500 ng/mL in urine. Samples containingPFOS at concentrations greater than 10,000ng/mL may be diluted with control blank matrix so that the concentration of PFOS will be within the range of reliable results prior to analysis.
The mass spectrometry of PFOS and PFOC is accomplished in the negative ion mode.
The ion spray source voltage is set at - 2000 volts which is low enough to greatly reduce
the formation of other potentially interfering ions extracted from the matrix.
CAUTION: Since primates may carry a number of zoonoses, all unpreserved tissues, includmgblood, plasma and serum, are to be considered as biohazards and handled with universal precautions. Refer to SOP number SRI 2-5-5 for a description of safety procedures to be used when handling unpreserved primate tissue.

PREPARATION OF SPIKED STANDARDS AND BLANKS
Appropriate changes in the concentrations of the solutions may be made at the discretion of the analyst.
5.1
Multiple (e.g., about three) sets of matrix standards and a matrix blank (blank + IS) are
analyzed with each set of unknown samples. A matrix double blank (blank-IS) may also
be analyzed if desired.
5.2
Into individual -20-mL culture tubes, pipet blank matrix (e.g., 0.5 mL ). Pipet in the
appropriate volume as described in the table above for each standard. For the blanks,
pipet 10 pL of organic-fiee water instead of the working stock solution. Add the 10 pL
of internal standard stock (-50 pg/mL) to each tube except the blank-IS (pipet 10 pL of
organic-free water instead) and vortex for -5 seconds.
5.3
For serum samples add the following to each tube: 500 pL of the TBA ion-pairing
solution, 1 mL of 0.25W0.25M carbonatehicarbonate buffer, and 1 mL of deionized
organic free water. Vortex each tube for about 5 seconds. For urine samples add the
following to each tube 1 mL of TBA ion-pairing solution, 1 mL of 1.OWl.OM
carbonatehicarbonate buffer and 1 mL of deionized water. Vortex each tube for about
5 seconds.

5.4
Add 2.5 mL of ethyl acetate and extract on horizontal mixer for 1 hour at a low speed
setting.
5.5
Remove the tube from the shaker and place in a centrifuge (e.g., 2500 rpm) for about 5
minutes.
5.6
- Take off the top ethyl acetate layer and put it into a clean tube and evaporate to dryness
(e.g., 50 minutes in the Turbo-Vap 0)with a gentle stream of nitrogen and moderate
heat (e.g., 50 'C).
5.7
Reconstitute the residue in 500 pL of 5% 5 mM ammonium acetate: 95% methanol
containing 1.5% formic acid and vortex briefly to mix. Filter the samples through 0.2
pm PVDF or Nylon syringe filters into autosampler vials.
6.0
PREPARATION OF SAMPLES
6.1
Allow each serum sample to thaw to room temperature. Vortex each sample briefly, but
vigorously. Pipet an aliquot of each sample (e.g., 0.5 mL) into individual -20-mL culture
tubes. If necessary, dilute an aliquot of any sample with blank matrix so that the
expected concentration of the test article being analyzed will fall within the concentration
range of the standard curve. Add 10 pL of internal standard stock (- 50 pg/mL) to each
tube and vortex for a couple of seconds.
6.2
For serum samples add the following to each tube: 500 pL of the TBA ion-pairing
solution, 1 mL of 0.25W0.25M carbonatehicarbonate buffer, and 1 mL of deionized
organic free water. Vortex each tube for about 5 seconds. For urine samples add the
following to each tube 1 mL of TBA ion-pairing solution, 1 mL of l.OM/l.OM
carbonatehicarbonate buffer and 1 mL of deionized water. Vortex each tube for about
5 seconds.
6.3
Add 2.5 mL of ethyl acetate and extract on horizontal mixer for 1 hour at a low speed
setting.

CALCULATIONS
8.1
At the end of the analytical run,review each chromatogram to ensure the retention time,
peak shape, and peak height and peak area determination of the test article and the IS are
acceptable. The data may be smoothed as appropriate. For quantitation, use the ion
profiles at the following mass-to-charge ratios:
Analvte PFOS PFOC
Ion Profile 498.9 to 498.9 412.9 to 368.9
8.2
Plot the peak area response of PFOS dwided by the peak area response of the IS (PFOC)
from all standards versus the concentration of the test article in the standards.
Alternatively, the peak heights may be used instead of peak areas. Obtain the best curve
fit of the data (e.g., quadratic fit weighted with l/concentration of the test article or a
quadratic fit). Note: The best curve fit may be dependent on the range of the standard
curve and it may be necessary to have more than one standard curve for various
concentrationranges using the following:
where
y =
x = a, b, c
Peak height response of PFOS divided by peak height response of the IS (PFOC) in standards. Concentration of the PFOS in standards. = Constants derived from the regression analysis.

8.3 Using the standard curve, calculatethe level of PFHC in each unknown sample. Correct the results of samples for any dilutions.
NOTE:
Due to unresolvable interferences with the test article and/or internal standard fiom the matrix, external standard quantitation may be used at the discretion of the supervising mass spectrometrist.
9.0 ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION CRITERIA
9.1 Refer to SOP SRI 91-3 for acceptancehejection criteria except acceptable accuracy for standards is 80-120% of theoretical.
10.0 REPORTING
10.1 Results of all analyses are tabulated, and the raw data, original chromatograms, and reports are to be filed in the appropriate study file.
