Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals with water and oil repellent properties, used in a large variety of products but posing environmental and health risks. A survey conducted by 'the Analytical Scientist' revealed that 'Sample Preparation' ranks top among the main challenges for PFAS analysis, while 'Eliminating background interference' emerges as the most desirable factor for improving sensitivity.

Explore solutions to these common challenges including the PAL Systems which provide automated sample preparation to reduce errors and improve repeatability, as well as offering PFAS-free products to minimize background contamination for optimal sensitivity and accuracy.

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.Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.PFASContamination PreventionContamination prevention aims to control and minimize the risk of contamination during experiments. Biological safety cabinets and sterilization equipment are examples of technologies used to prevent contamination.
