A congener specific analysis ("PCB Fingerprinting”) is a form of chemical analysis that distinctly identifies and quantifies individual PCB congeners.

It allows scientists to see distinct PCB patterns or signatures in the environment. These can identify the PCB source material, the likely source areas and the degree and type of subsequent alteration.
