Sample Preparation • PCDD/Fs and dl-PCB standards containing the native and the 13 C-labelled compounds were obtained from Wellington Laboratories Inc. The following food and feed extracted samples were provided by the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research, CSIC Barcelona, Spain: − Adipose tissue − Fish liver dl-PCBs − Fish oil − Dry fishspiked feed sample − milk powder sample (certified reference material). − 3x dry fish samples (previously used in inter-laboratory studies) PCDD/Fs − one feed sample (internal reference material). − one milk powder sample (certified reference material). • Extraction and clean-up of the matrix samples was performed either by PowerPrep™ SPE system (feed sample) or using a manual clean-up with multilayer silica, followed by basic alumina and a final carbon column (milk, tissue and fish samples).
