Automated Sample Prep: Transforming the Future of PFAS Analysis
PFAS testing demands precise, reliable, and contamination-free sample preparation across diverse matrices. This webinar introduces the Biotage® PrepXpert-8, the newest addition to the Biotage® automated solid phase extraction (SPE) portfolio, designed to deliver unmatched versatility for PFAS analysis. Attendees will begin with a comparative overview of three Biotage® automation platforms—the Biotage® Extrahera™ family, Biotage® PrepXpert-8, and Biotage® Horizon 5000—before exploring the innovative features unique to the Biotage® PrepXpert-8.
The session will cover practical applications for key PFAS methods, including DIN EN 17892, EPA 1633A, 533, and 537.1, supported by performance data on method detection limits, precision, and accuracy. We will also examine the role of advanced sorbent chemistries, such as EVOLUTE® PFAS+ and EVOLUTE® WAX/GCB, in achieving low background levels and robust recoveries.
Beyond analytical performance, the webinar will highlight operational benefits for laboratories—showing how automation, higher throughput, and integrated cleaning procedures can reduce contamination risks, eliminate carryover, and boost daily efficiency. Join us to discover how the Biotage® PrepXpert-8 completes the Biotage® SPE portfolio and sets a new benchmark for automated PFAS sample preparation.
