LC-MS/MS: The key to analyzing PFAS in milk, infant formula, and related food ingredients
The exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in foods has recently become a topic of interest, given the growing evidence linking PFAS with adverse health outcomes. Whole milk, infant formula and ingredients used in infant formula production all represent important matrices that require sensitive methods with reporting limits at low parts per billion levels or lower. In this webinar, join Lukas Vaclavik, Technical Manager of Eurofins Food Integrity & Innovation, to learn more about the current trends associated with the analysis of PFAS, relevant to food, using cutting-edge LC-MS/MS instrumentation.
Vaclavik will also present top tips for successfully eliminating PFAS background contamination, along with sample preparation strategies to achieve robust analysis.
This webinar will cover:
- Available methodologies for determination of PFAS in foods
- Strategies to eliminate and avoid PFAS background contamination in LC-MS/MS analysis
- An overview of method optimization experiments and validation results
Who should attend?
- Food testing lab personnel
- Researchers interested in PFAS monitoring
- Regulators interested in PFAS in food
