Use

The test screens and confirms the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in human serum. PCBs are man-made organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons. They have been used in a variety of industrial applications such as coolants, electrical equipment, hydraulic systems, and as additives in sealants and flame retardants due to their non-flammability, chemical stability, high boiling point, and electrical insulating properties. The test aids in assessing exposure to PCBs, which can lead to potential adverse health outcomes such as cancer, immune, reproductive, nervous, and endocrine system disruptions.
