The test material is extracted with boiling ethanolic or methanolic potassium hydroxide solution. An aliquot of the extract is mixed with water and subjected to liquid-solid separation on a disposable C solid-phase extraction cartridge, followed by eluting with hexane or ISO-octane.

PCBs in the hexane phase are measured by capillary gas chromatography using an electron capture detector (ECD) or a mass selective detector (MSD). The model of the seven homogeneous peaks is compared to a technical PCB model.
