Application

2-Fluorobiphenyl may be used as a surrogate standard for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil as well as sediment samples, and pharmaceutical compounds in water samples by various chromatography techniques. It may also be used as an internal standard for the determination of organic pesticides as well as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and PAHs in sediments, water, and aquatic organisms by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
