Scientists used supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC)—both coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)—to analyze various types of chlorinated paraffins (CPs) in fish oil-based dietary supplements.

In this study, SFC and UHPLC—both coupled with HRMS—methods for the analysis of short-, medium-, and long-chain CPs in fish oil-based dietary supplements were developed and validated at concentration levels of 0.6 and 3.0 µg/g lipid weight (lw).
