Novel Quantitative Workflow for Efficient and Cost-effective Testing of 52 PFAS compounds down to ppt levels

As PFAS testing laboratories constantly strive to be more productive and reduce operating costs as the regulatory requirements evolve, there is an increasing trend in adopting workflows that offer minimize sample preparation steps.

In the next of our series of PFAS webinars, we will share data to support the latest direct injection PFAS testing and summarize the software user experience. The workflow is capable of quantitating 52 PFAS compounds in the sample to meet global regulatory detection limit requirements from ppb down to sub-ppt levels. We will speak specifically to the various global PFAS regulations and guidelines where this workflow is appropriate and is suitable for laboratories to implement to meet their growth goals in the PFAS testing market.
