The high resolution possible with capillary gas chromatography, coupled with the superior infrared spectra produced by matrix isolation FTIR, yields a powerful analytical tool, which is used here for the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Individual PCB isomers are identified in Aroclor mixtures using the matrix isolation infrared spectra of PCBs are presented. The Gas Chromatograph-Matrix Isolation-Fourier Transform Infrared (GC-MI-FTIR) instrument is described. The GC-MI-FTIR is especially useful in the determination of PCBs in samples where the Aroclor pattern is not present.
