This study was conducted in compliance with United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations 21 CFR Part 58, with the exceptions in the bulleted list below. Exceptions to GLP compliance:
There were two study directors in this study. This study was designed as two separate studies. The in-life phase was considered to end after teratological examination and shipment of specimens. The analytical study was considered to start at the receipt of these specimens for analysis. This resulted in having two separate study directors, one for each phase of the same study. However, since the technical performance of each phase was entirely separate, no effect is expected from this exception.
Stability not determined for test and control articles under all conditions of administration.
Characterizations of all analytical reference materials have not been completed at this time. An amendment to this report will be issued when characterizations have been completed for all reference materials with the exception of PFOSEA. A characterization of PFOSEA will not be completed as all the material was consumed during the analytical phase of the study.
There were no expiration dates on the reagent/solutions bottle per 21 CFR Part 58.83.
The electronic data systems have not been validated and there is not an electronic audit trail of corrections currently available (21 CFR Part 58.130 (e)). Hardcopies of chromatograms will be considered as the original raw data.

Introduction and Purpose
Analytical Report: FACT TOX-097 LRN-U2452
The purpose of the analytical study is to provide semi-quantitative or qualitative determination of PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, PFOSEA and N-EtFOSE in sera samples and liver samples collected from pregnant rabbits exposed orally to N-EtFOSE. The study was initiated on 18 September 1998.
T e s t System
The test system were timed-pregnant female New Zealand White [Hra: (NZW)SPF] Rabbits received from Covance Research Products Inc. The individual body weights of the female rabbits ranged from 2.9 to 4.2 kg; the rabbits were approximately five to six months of age at the time of study assignment (Argus Study #418-010).
Table 1 summarizes the number of female rabbits in each group. Group I consisted of control female rabbits that were administered 0.0 mg/kg/day in 2% Tween 80 (vehicle). Group II through Group V female rabbits were administered 0.1,1.0, 2.5, or 3.75 mg of N-EtFOSE per kg of body weight/day in 2% Tween 80. Serum and liver samples were collected on day 21 of presumed gestation. Additionally, female rabbits were Caesarean-sectioned and pooled fetal tissue(s) taken from the rabbits. Details of the in-life phase of the study are presented in the Argus Laboratory final report, "Oral (Stomach Tube) Developmental Toxicity Study of N-EtFOSE in Rabbits, #418010."

S pecim en C o llectio n and A nalysis
In the analytical study reported here, 19 liver specimens, 19 sera specimens and 19 pooled fetal tissues were collected from 19 presumed pregnant female rabbits at the end of the in-life phase of Argus Study #418-010 and sent to the 3M Environmental Laboratory to be extracted and analyzed for perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA), perfluorooctanesulfonamido(ethyl)acetate (PFOSAA), N-ethyl perfluorooctanesulfonamido ethyl alcohol (N-EtFOSE), and perfluorooctanesulfonylethylamide (PFOSEA). Only non-quantitative screening data is provided for PFOSAA and N-EtFOSE determination in liver and sera samples.
Blood specimens were centrifuged within one hour of collection. Serum was then harvested and stored in a freezer set to maintain specimens at -70 until shipped to the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Liver specimens collected from each animal were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen then stored in a freezer set to maintain specimens at -70C until shipped to the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Pooled fetal tissues (per litter, fetuses and placenta) were collected then stored in a freezer set to maintain specimens at -70C until shipped to the 3M Environmental Laboratory. (Note: Although fetal and placenta tissues were collected at the same time as liver and serum, results from these analyses will not be included in this report. A separate report may be issued for fetal tissue data.)
Sera and liver samples were extracted beginning on 16 October 1998. Liver samples were homogenized prior to the extraction procedure. Sample extracts were analyzed beginning 17 October 1998 using high-pressure liquid chromatography-electrospray/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ES/MS/MS) in the multiple reaction monitoring. Analytical details are included in this report.
Specimen Receipt and Maintenance
The 3M Environmental Laboratory received serum, liver, fetuses and placenta specimens for the in-life phase of this study FACT TOX-097 on 23 September 1998 from Argus Research Laboratories. All specimens were received frozen on dry ice and were immediately transferred to storage at -20C 10C.
Control matrices used in liver and sera analyses performed during TOX-097 were obtained from commercial sources and are presented in Appendix A (see Table 5). Samples analyzed at the 3M Environmental Laboratory will be maintained for a maximum period of 10 years and will be stored at the laboratory at -20C 10C.

Method Summaries
Analytical Report: FACT TOX-097 LRN-U2452
Following is a brief description of the methods used during this analytical study by the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Copies of the methods used in this study are located in Appendix C.
As the present study progressed, more advanced methods evolved and earlier methods listed in the protocol were not used. It was determined that applying a 1/X weighting to the curve improved the method accuracy at the low end of the curve. The original data sets were reworked utilizing the improved practice. These changes only improved the effectiveness of the method. Amendments to the protocol were written to cover method changes. A copy of protocol amendments and method deviations are presented in Appendix B (Table 6) of this report.

ETS-8-7.0, "Analysis of Potassium Perfluorooctanesulfonate or other Fluorochemicals in Liver Extracts Using HPLC-Electrospray/Mass Spectrometry"
The analyses were performed by monitoring one or more product ions selected from a single primary ion characteristic of a particular fluorochemical using HPLC/ES/MS/MS. For example, molecular ion 499, selected as the primary ion for PFOS (C8F17S 03-) analysis, was fragmented to produce ion 99 (FS03-). The characteristic ion 99 was monitored for quantitative analysis (Table 3).

Data Summary, Analyses, and Results
Analytical Report: FACT TOX-097 LRN-U2452
Sum m ary o f Q u ality Control Analyses Results
Linearity: The coefficient of determination (r2) of the extracted standard curve was >0.980 except for the determination of PFOSAA. Acceptable curves could not be derived from the analysis of some data sets. All PFOSAA data should be regarded as non-qualitative screening data only.
Calibration Standards: Quantitation of the compounds was based on linear regression analysis (1/x weighted) of a single or of two extracted matrix curves bracketing each group of samples. High or low points on the curve may have been deactivated to provide a better linear fit over the curve range most appropriate to the data. Low curve points with peak areas less than two times that of the extraction blanks were deactivated to disqualify a data range that may have been significantly affected by background levels of the analyte. Occasionally, a single mid-range curve point that was an obvious outlier may have been deactivated. Quantitation of the compounds was based on the response of one specific product ion using the multiple reaction monitoring mode of the instrument (see Appendix C, Analytical Methods).
Limits o f Quantitation (LOQ): The LOQ is equal to the lowest acceptable standard in the calibration curve (defined as a standard within 30% of the theoretical value), and is at least two times the analyte peak area detected in the extraction blanks.
Blanks: All blanks were below the lower limit of quantitation for the compounds of interest, except as noted in Appendix B (see table 6).
Precision: Precision was not specifically determined within this study, but has been characterized to be better than 30% for this method.
Matrix Spikes: Matrix spikes and matrix spike duplicates were extracted with each set of samples and analyzed during analytical runs at the 3M Environmental Laboratory. Rabbit sera and liver from control animals were spiked prior to extraction. All target analytes were spiked approximatelt 250 ng/mL or 250 ng/g.
Sera spikes for PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, and PFOSEA were within 30% of expected values. Spike recoveries studies for N-EtFOSE were dramatically higher than expected, with an average recovery of 196%. The N-EtFOSE data shall be regarded as non-qualitative screening data only.
Liver spikes for PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, and PFOSEA were within 30% of expected values. Spike recoveries studies for N-EtFOSE were within 50%. The N-EtFOSE data shall be regarded as non-qualitative screening data only.
Surrogates: The surrogate (THPFOS) was added to all samples and standards prior to extraction. THPFOS was not used for quantitation, but was used to monitor for gross instrument failure. The surrogate response of each analytical run was monitored to determine that it did not vary more than 50% from the mean within each analytical run. No problems were observed with these data.

S tatem en t o f D ata Q uality
It is not possible to verify true recovery of endogenous analyte from tissues without radio labeled reference material. The only measurement of accuracy available at this time, matrix spike studies, indicates the data are quantitative to 30% or greater with the exception of PFOSAA and N-EtFOSE. The PFOSAA and N-EtFOSE data shall be regarded as non-qualitative screening data only.
Sum m ary o f S am ple R esults
Samples from Dosed Animals: In general, PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA and N-EtFOSE levels found in the sera and liver of the test animals increased with dose group. PFOSEA was not detected in sera or liver samples of dosed animals. Detailed sample data tables are presented in Appendices D and E.
Statistical Methods and Calculations
Statistical methods were limited to the calculation of means and standard deviations. See Appendix F for example calculations used to generate the liver and serum sample data in FACTTOX-097.
Statement of Conclusion
Under the conditions of the present studies, PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA and N-EtFOSE were observed in the sera and liver of rabbits dosed with the N-EitFOSE during the in-life phase of the study.

In each place a high solvent blank was analyzed, additional solvent blanks or method blanks
were analyzed immediately following the high blank. This second injection was below the
LOQ. O ccassionally, the first injection o f a run is high because it may immediately follow
injection o f a high standard from a previous run. For this reason, more than one blank is
typically analyzed prior to the start o f a calibration curve. These second and third, etc. blanks

determined. Two curves in each o f these matrices were extracted and analyzed with the rabbit serum
curves to determine equivalence. Responses in the rat, bovine, monkey, and human were equivalent to
the rabbitresponses, therefore, their MDL and LOQ will be the same values as determined in rabbit
serum.

2.1 This method describes the procedure for extracting potassium perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) or other fluorochemical surfactants from liver, or other tissues, using an ion pairing reagent and methyl-/eri-butyl ether (MtBE). In this method, seven fluorochemicals can be extracted: PFOS, PFOSA, PFOSAA, EtFOSE-OH,.PFOSEA, M 556, and surrogate standard. An ion pairing reagent is added to the sample and the analyte ion pair is partitioned into MtBE. The MtBE extract is transferred to a centrifuge tube and put onto a nitrogen evaporator until dry. Each extract is reconstituted in 1.0 mL methanol then filtered through a 3 cc plastic syringe attached to a 0.2 pm nylon filter into glass autovials.
2.2 These sample extracts are analyzed following method ETS-8-7.0 or other appropriate m ethods.

2 .0 Summary o f M eth o d
______ _________________________ ________________ .______
2 .1 This method describes the analysis o f fluorochemical surfactants extracted from serum or other fluids, using HPLC-electrospray/mass spectrometry, or sim ilar system as appropriate. The analysis is performed by monitoring a single ion characteristic o f a particular fluorochem ical, such as the perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) anion, m /z= 499. Additionally, samples may be analyzed using a tandem mass spectrometer to further verify the identity o f a compound by detecting daughter ions o f the parent ion.
3 .0 D efin itio ns____________________________ ;_________________________________________
3 .1 Atmospheric Pressure Ionization (API): The Micromass Quattro II triple quadrupole system s allow for various methods o f ionization by utilizing various sources, probes, and interfaces. These include but are not limited to: Electrospray Ionization (ESI), Atmospheric Pressure chem ical Ionization (APcI), Thermospray, etc:. The ionization process in these techniques occurs at atmospheric pressure (i.e., not under a vacuum).
3 .2 Electrospray Ionization (ES, ESI): a method o f ionization performed at atmospheric pressure, whereby ions in solution are transferred to the gas phase via tiny charged droplets. These charged droplets are produced by the application o f a strong electrical field.
3 .3 Mass Spectrometry, Mass Spectrometer (MS), Tandem Mass Spectrometer (MS/MS): The API Quattro II triple quadrupole systems are equipped with quadrupole m ass selective detectors. Ions are selectively discriminated by mass to charge ratio (m /z) and subsequently detected. A single MS may be employed for ion detection or a series (M S/M S) for more specific fragmentation information.
3 .4 Conventional vs. Z-spray probe interface: The latest models o f Micromass Quattro II triple quadrupole system s (post 1998) utilize a "Z-spray" conformation. The spray emitted from a probe is orthogonal to the cone aperture. In the conventional conformation it is aimed directly at the cone aperture, after passing through a tortuous pathway in the counter electrode. Though the cotifiguration is different, the methods o f operation, cleaning, and maintenance are the same. However, Z-spray components and conventional components are not com patible with one another, but only with similar systems (i.e., Z-spray components are compatible with some other Z-spray systems, etc.)
3 .5 M ass L ynx Softw are: System software designed for the specific operation o f these Quattro II triple quadrupole system s. Currently MassLynx has Windows 95 and W indowsNT 4.0 versions. A ll versions are similar. For more details see the manual specific to the instrument (M icromass Quattro II triple quadrupole MassLynx or MassLynx NT U ser's Guide).
4.0 Warnings and Cautions____________________________________________________ 4.1 H ealth and Safety W arnings:
4.1.1 U se caution with the voltage cables for the probe. When engaged, the probe em ploys a voltage o f approximately 5000 Volts.
4.1.2 When handling samples or solvents wear appropriate protective gloves, eyewear, and clothing.

10.1 Solvent B lanks, M ethod Blanks and M atrix Blan ks
10.1.1 Solvent blanks, method blanks and matrix blanks are prepared and analyzed with each batch to determine contamination or carryover.
10.1.2 Analyze a method blank and a matrix blank prior to each calibration curve.
10.2 M atrix Spikes
10.2.1 Matrix spikes are prepared and analyzed to determine the matrix effect on the ' recovery efficiency.
10.2.2 Matrix spike duplicates are prepared and analyzed to measure the precision and the recovery for each analyte.
10.2.3 Analyze a matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate per fo rt/ samples, w ith a minimum o f 2 spikes per batch.
10.2.4 Matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate concentrations w ill fall in the mid-range o f the initial calibration curve. Additional spike concentrations may fall in the low range o f the initial calibration curve.
10.3 C ontinuing C alibration V erifications
10.3.1 Continuing calibration verifications are analyzed to verify the continued accuracy
o f the calibration curve.
'
10.3.2 Analyze a mid-range calibration standard after every tenth sample, with a minimum o f one per batch.
1 1 . 0 C a l i b r a t i o n a n d S t a n d a r d i z a t i o n __________________________________________________________
11.1 A nalyze the extracted matrix standards prior to and following each set o f extracts. The average o f two standard curves w ill be plotted by linear regression (y = my + b), weighted 1/x, not forced through zero, using MassLynx or other suitable software.
11.2 If the curve does not meet requirements, perform rouline maintenance or reextract the standard curve (if necessary) and reanalyze.
11.3 For purposes o f accuracy when quantitating low levels o f analyte, it may be necessary to use the low end o f the calibration curve rather than the full range o f the standard curve. Example: when attempting to quantitate approximately 10 ppb o f analyte, generate a calibration curve consisting o f file standards from 5 p pb to 100 ppb rather than the full range o f the curve (5 ppb to 1000 ppb). This w ill reduce inaccuracy attributed to linear regression weighting o f high concentration standards.

3.4 C onventional vs. Z-spray probe interface: The latest models o f Micromass Quattro II triple quadrupole (post 1998) utilize a "Z-spray" conformation. The spray emitted from a probe is orthogonal to the cone aperture. In the conventional conformation it is aimed directly at the cone aperture, after passing through a tortuous pathway in the counter electrode. Though the configuration is different, the methods o f operation, cleaning, and maintenance are the same. However, Z-spray components and conventional components are not com patible w ith one another, but only with similar systems (i.e. Z-spray components are com patible w ith other Z-spray system s, etc.)
3.5 M ass L ynx Softw are: System software designed for the specific operation o f these Quattro II triple quadrupole system s. Currently MassLynx has W indows 95 and WindowsNT 4.0 versions. A ll versions are similar. For more details refer to the manual specific to the instrument (M icromass Quattro 13triple quadrupole MassLynx or MassLynx NT User's Guide).

11.3 For purposes o f accuracy when quantitating low levels o f analyte, it may be necessary to use the low end o f the calibration curve rather than the full range o f the standard curve. Example: when attempting to quantitate approximately 10 ppb o f analyte, generate a calibration curve consisting o f die standards from 5 ppb to 100 ppb rather than the full range o f the curve (5 ppb to 1000 ppb). This w ill reduce inaccuracy attributed to linear regression weighting o f high concentration standards.
