An ultra-high sensitivity analysis of 29 PFAS compounds in drinking water by direct injection
7 Oct 2025PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic fluorinated organic compounds that are often found in a wide range of consumer and industrial products, including firefighting foams and coatings. However, their high stability and persistence raise concerns about their impact on human health and the environment which has led to tighter regulations.
In this application note, Shimadzu introduces the ultra-high sensitivity analysis of 29 PFAS in drinking water. Discover how this method addresses the demands of testing laboratories for PFAS quantification, keeping inline with regulatory compliance.
