General description

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) belong to the class of highly toxic pollutants commonly found in various environmental matrices and food products. They find a variety of applications as flame retardants, plasticizers, dielectric and heat transfer fluids, etc.

Application

PCB No 3 may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in aqueous solution in the presence of dissolved organic carbon using high-performance liquid chromatography technique.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants with myriad biological effects, including carcinogenicity. We present data showing gender-specific genotoxicity in Fischer 344 transgenic BigBlue rodents exposed to 4-chlorobiphenyl (PCB3), a hydroxylated metabolite, and the positive control 3-methylcholanthrene

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) levels of tens and hundreds of pg/ml for individual congeners are measured in human follicular fluid. PCB3 (4-chlorobiphenyl), caused a significant increase in estradiol secretion in porcine granulose-theca cell co-cultures and its two metabolites, 4-OH-PCB3 and 3,4-diOH-PCB3
