Description
PCB 88 is a discrete polychlorinated biphenyl congener offered as a ROTI®Star reference standard for chromatography and environmental analysis. Identified by CAS number 55215-17-3, empirical formula C₁₂H₅Cl₅ and molar mass 326,43 g/mol, it supports accurate assignment and quantification in gas-chromatographic methods. The material is packed as 5 mg in glass, giving a practical quantity for preparing stock and working standards in residue and congener-specific workflows. Analytical laboratories apply PCB 88 when building calibration sets, verifying retention behaviour or assessing recovery in complex environmental matrices. Supplied from manufacturer Carl ROTH in the ROTI®Star line, the product is intended for laboratory analytical use. Its defined chemical identity helps ensure consistent peak identification alongside other pentachlorobiphenyl congeners. Use under controlled laboratory conditions appropriate for chlorinated aromatic reference materials.
This article is part of ICP, AAS & ion standards, in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about PCB 88, ROTI®Star, 5 mg, glass
What is this article?
PCB 88, ROTI®Star, 5 mg, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in ICP, AAS & ion standards, inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
An ICP, AAS or ion standard is a solution of a stated element or ion at a stated concentration, with an uncertainty. It is the calibration point of a spectrometer or an electrode. The matrix, often dilute acid, has to match the method. A standard past its expiry is not that concentration.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
