Quantitative Determination of Semi-Volatile Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Using TD–GC–MS
10 Jan 2019Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) enter the environment from legacy sites for hazardous waste, from electrical equipment and construction materials, and by the improper disposal of consumer waste. Their tendency to persist in the environment and their known negative health effects has led to growing concern from regulators, which in turn has drawn attention to the need for reliable and practical analytical methods.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis. Find the best GC-MS instruments and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental ContaminationContaminants in the environment are harmful chemicals that are present in the air, land and water. These include pesticides, pharmaceuticals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and many more.Thermal DesorptionThermal desorption is a technique used to release volatile compounds from solid samples by heating them. It is often used in environmental testing and analysis of complex materials. Explore thermal desorption systems in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Semi Volatile Organic CompoundsSemi volatiles organic compounds (SVOCs) are a groups of compounds that have a low boiling point and evaporate above room temperature. SVOCs include phenols and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).Polychlorinated BiphenylsGas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and analyze gases or volatile liquids in a sample. It is widely used in environmental testing, food safety, pharmaceuticals, and forensic science. GC is ideal for identifying and quantifying compounds that are gaseous or can be vaporized without decomposition.
