Aroclor 1242 is a high-purity polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) standard solution designed for reliable and accurate calibration in environmental, analytical, and quality control laboratories. Primarily utilized in the quantification of PCBs in environmental matrices such as soil, sediment, water, and air, this reference material supports the detection and analysis of trace-level contaminants known to be of ecological and regulatory concern. Manufactured to stringent quality specifications, it is ideal for use in gas chromatography (GC), including GC with electron capture or mass spectrometric detection, facilitating precise identification and quantification of individual PCB congeners. Well-suited for laboratories following EPA methods like 8082 or 1668, it ensures compatibility with a range of Agilent GC and GC-MS systems as well as other major analytical platforms. Aroclor PCB blends enable method development, instrument calibration, performance verification, and proficiency testing programs. The standard is supplied in a stable solvent matrix and accompanied by a certificate of analysis for traceability and assurance of composition. Supporting robust workflow integration, it can be used in conjunction with other certified reference materials such as Aroclor 1016, 1254, and 1260 for comprehensive analytical coverage within PCB monitoring programs.
