Description
PCB 98 is a defined polychlorinated biphenyl congener supplied for analytical reference work, with CAS number 60233-25-2 and empirical formula C₁₂H₅Cl₅. It belongs to the ROTI®Star line and has a molar mass of 326,43 g/mol, making it suitable where a characterised PCB standard is needed for identification and quantification. The material is packed as 5 mg in glass, a convenient small quantity for preparing stock solutions, calibration levels and spiking experiments in the laboratory. In environmental analysis, PCB 98 supports monitoring of persistent organic pollutants in matrices such as soils, sediments, biota and industrial samples. Chromatographic laboratories use such congeners in gas chromatography workflows for method development, retention-time confirmation and multi-residue schemes. This preparation from manufacturer Carl ROTH fits routine and research settings that require traceable PCB reference substances for GC-based environmental and residue testing. Controlled handling of the glass pack helps maintain integrity of the solid standard during weighing and dissolution steps typical of analytical protocols.
This article is part of ICP, AAS & ion standards, in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about PCB 98, ROTI®Star, 5 mg, glass
What is this article?
PCB 98, 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.
