- 06/12/2011 New ETAD Method for PCBs
-
The new ETAD Method 229 is a method for the determination of total content of polychlorinated biphenyls in pigments (including mono- and di-chlorobiphenyls) by dissolution, cleanup and GC/MS. The method is based on the experience of ETAD member companies and reflects the technical advancement in modern analytics. As a relevant improvement in comparison to previously developped methods, it allows most PCB congeners to be separated or recognizable at different retention times. Further information on all ETAD methods can be found on the specifîc page of this website.
