Description

Aroclor 1260, 1X1Ml, Iso, 1000Ug/Ml is a high-purity, isooctane-based standard solution containing the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener Aroclor 1260 at a certified concentration of 1000 µg/mL. This analytical standard is essential for ensuring accurate calibration, method validation, and quality control in environmental and industrial testing laboratories. It is primarily used by analytical chemists, environmental scientists, and quality assurance professionals engaged in the monitoring and analysis of persistent organic pollutants.

Application

• Environmental Analysis: Calibration standard for the quantification of PCBs in soil, water, sediment, and air samples via GC-MS or GC-ECD.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Used to validate analytical methods for compliance with EPA, EU, and other international regulations concerning PCB contamination.
• Food and Feed Safety: Reference material for testing PCB residues in food products, animal feed, and edible oils to ensure consumer safety.
• Industrial Hygiene Monitoring: Calibrating equipment for workplace air monitoring in industries dealing with legacy electrical equipment.
• Waste and Remediation: Analytical standard for characterizing PCB levels in hazardous waste and evaluating remediation effectiveness.
• Research and Development: Serves as a critical reference compound in toxicology studies and environmental fate research of chlorinated hydrocarbons.
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Implementation in laboratory proficiency testing and internal quality control programs.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Aroclor 1260 standard solution is manufactured and certified under strict quality protocols. The concentration is precisely verified against traceable primary reference materials using validated analytical methods such as GC-FID or GC-MS. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each unit, detailing the certified value, measurement uncertainty, expiration date, and batch-specific chromatographic profile to ensure data integrity for your critical analyses.

Storage

Preserve in the original sealed ampule or a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C (refrigerated). This product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and the solvent is highly volatile and flammable. For long-term stability, store under recommended conditions and allow to equilibrate to room temperature before use.
