PFAS

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of industrial chemicals that include such compounds as PFOA and PFOS, among many others. Their fluorine-carbon bonds are extremely stable, making them highly resistant to environmental degradation and earning them the nickname ‘forever chemicals’ due to their longevity.

 

PFAS monitoring is now a critical requirement, not only to keep up with ever-evolving testing regulations, but to ensure the safety of our planet. Many studies have demonstrated the negative impact of PFAS on both environmental and human health, with findings linking them to severe health concerns including reproductive and developmental issues, depressed immune response, liver and kidney problems, and even cancer.

As the demand for stringent PFAS testing increases, laboratories conducting PFAS research must examine matrices such as drinking water, food packaging, food stuffs, soil, blood, and tissue samples. Our wide portfolio of PFAS analysis solutions provide testing labs with the support they need for implementing and optimizing workflows, including robust performance with complex matrices, reducing matrix-induced contamination, and increasing uptime.
