Aroclor 1242 is a high-purity polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixture designed for use as a calibration standard in environmental and analytical chemistry. Commonly utilized in laboratories performing EPA methods such as SW-846 and 8082, this reference material enables accurate identification and quantitation of PCB congeners in soil, water, sediment, and air samples. Its defined chlorine content and well-characterized composition support reproducible analysis, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for PCB monitoring and remediation studies.

This product is suitable for performance testing and method validation in gas chromatography systems equipped with electron capture detectors, mass spectrometry, or other relevant detection technologies. Researchers in environmental science, industrial hygiene, and quality assurance rely on this standard to calibrate instruments, verify analytical methods, and assess laboratory proficiency. It is compatible with related certified PCB standards and is recommended for use alongside other Aroclor mixtures to provide comprehensive PCB profiling.

Aroclor 1242 is supplied in a sealed amber ampoule to ensure stability and integrity during storage. Each lot is accompanied by a certificate of analysis detailing traceability and concentration data, supporting rigorous data quality requirements in diverse laboratory environments.
