LOINC Code


LOINC code73988-8
name2,2',4,5,5'-Pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB) [Mass/volume] in Serum or Plasma by Confirmatory method
descriptionQuantitative confirmation analysis of 2,2',4,5,5'-Pentachlorobiphenyl associated with aroclors 1248, 1254 and 1260, three types of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixtures. The submitting lab's confirmation threshold is 0.2 ng/mL with analysis performed by GC/MS. Testing is performed to determine environmental or workplace exposure to PCBs. For more information and a full list of PCB congeners, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCB_congener_list.

Fully-Specified Name

component2,2',4,5,5'-Pentachlorobiphenyl
propertyMCnc  =  Mass Concentration
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemSer/Plas
    Ser  =  Serum
    Plas  =  Plasma
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
