说明
分析说明
PCBs are lipophilic and they have a tendency to bioaccumulate and, through bioaccumulation, may pose a risk to humans. When PCB-containing substances are cleaned or dumped into rivers or oceans, PCBs may find their way into aquatic lifeforms such as fish. Fish oil, which is high in levels of the beneficial fatty acids EPA and DHA, is a popular nutritional supplement. Due to the health risk of exposure to PCBs, fish oil is often analyzed for the presence of these compounds to ensure its safety. In this application, a new extraction/cleanup method was developed for PCBs from pure fish oil using the EZ-POP NP SPE cartridge.
