The use and effect of mixed standards on the quantitation of polychlorinated biphenyls

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A study was made of the problems encountered when the chromatogram of a sample being analyzed for PCB's via GLC cannot readily be compared to a particular Aroclor standard. The use of mixed Aroclor standards was proposed and a study made of the effect of mixed standards on the analytical results. It was found that the choice of a standard could alter the values by more than a factor of 2. In addition, the particular mixture used as a standard should be reported along with resulting values.
