Analysis of PFAS in milk by LC-MS/MS

Restek Corp.
12 Feb 2025

The ubiquitous use of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in everyday products has resulted in the accumulation of these compounds in the environment. Due to the prevalence of these compounds in environmental sources, such as water and soil, they are finding avenues into food commodities meant for human consumption. Discover how to implement extensive, robust and accurate testing of 28 PFAS in dairy milk using LC-MS/MS, detecting levels as low as 0.01 µg/kg. With a fast, simple sample preparation using QuEChERS extraction and dSPE cleanup, this workflow is ideal for high-throughput PFAS testing labs.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
