Abstract
Chlorobiphenyl congeners (CBs) are used as indicator compounds in analysis performed to determine whether or not PCB concentrations in food products, waste mineral oil, and environmental samples comply with the maximum levels permitted by legislation. Seven of these compounds have been checked for coelution with other CB congeners by means of a multidimensional gas chromatographic method utilizing a combination of two narrow bore columns, one coated with a conventional nonβpolar stationary phase and the other with a liquid crystalline (smectic) stationary phase.
Peaks of the relevant CBs have been transferred, by heart cutting, from the nonβpolar column to the liquid crystal column, on which unambiguous separation from possible coeluting CB congeners was obtained. It has been shown that if the seven congeners are analyzed solely on a single, nonβpolar capillary column the results obtained for two of them may be affected by coelution of other compounds.
