The following reagents were used in the study: deionized water (Milli-Q Reagent Water, < 10 MΩ cm−1 resistivity, Merck, Millipore); acetonitrile for HPLC, n-hexane for GC (Sigma-Aldrich, Poznan, Poland); sulfuric acid; salts – anhydrous magnesium sulfate (99.5% purity), sodium chloride (99.9% purity) (Avantor Performance Materials Poland S.A., Gliwice), sodium citrate monobasic (99.5% purity) (Sigma-Aldrich, Poznan, Poland); sorbents – primary and secondary amines – Bondesil PSA, 40 μm (Labstore, Warsaw, Poland), Bakerbond octadecyl (C18, 40 μm, 60 Å), and silica gel (40 μm, 60 Å) (S. Witko, Lodz, Poland). Acetonitrile was saturated with n-hexane (acetonitrile:n-hexane 1:1 (v/v) added to a separation funnel and shaken for 1 min); then, the solvents were allowed to separate phases, and the lower layer was used as extraction solvent. The concentration of the indicators of polychlorined biphenyl standard solutions (Dr. Ehrenstorfer, Germany) was 100 ng/mL. Solutions with lower concentration were produced by diluting the working solutions in n-hexane solvent to obtain concentrations between 2 ng/mL and 11 ng/mL.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
