Differentiating Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB’s) by GC/FID/ECD

15 January 2013

The analytical chemistry of PCB’s is rigorous, demanding the highest quality in sample preparation and analytical technique. Furthermore, insufficient sample extraction and inappropriate methods of sample clean-up are the most common sources of error in PCB analysis and causes significant interference in the chromatography. This application note demonstrates that the Buck System P gas chromatograph, equipped with EPC split/splitless injector and dual EC detectors can be used for quick field screening where the sources of contamination are known.
