Simultaneous determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and polychlorinated biphenyls by gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry in human serum and plasma

Abstract: Sensitive and reliable methods for simultaneous determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in limited volumes of human serum or plasma need to be further documented especially when they accumulate at low levels that are still capable of disrupting endocrine and immune functions, and affecting neurodevelopment and reproduction. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a sensitive and quantitative method that simultaneously quantifies PBDEs and PCB… Show more

“…The analytical procedure details for PBDEs and PCBs were described elsewhere [36]. Briefly, the samples were fortified with Hexachlorobenzene (internal standard) and then mixed with 0.5 ml of pure formic acid and ultrasonicated for 10 min.…”

“…Two μ L of extract were injected by pulsed splitless mode (split ratio of 50:1, 50 psi, 0.2 min) at 250°C. The individual PCB and PBDE analytes were quantified using the sum of two multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) transitions and characterized by their abundance ratios [45]. …”
