Simultaneous LC/MS analysis of ultra-short through long chain PFAS compounds (C1-C10) in industrial and ground water

21 Sept 2023

This poster details the collaboration between Shodex and Claros Technologies to address the detection challenges posed by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in industrial and groundwater samples. PFAS compounds, which have been in industrial use for decades, have raised serious health concerns. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued global PFAS advisories to monitor these substances. The challenge lies in detecting both ultra-short and long-chain PFAS simultaneously, which cannot be achieved using traditional C18 columns outlined in EPA methods. Shodex and Claros have developed a validated method for screening PFAS across a broad chain length range without the need for sample preparation.

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.Chromatography Method DevelopmentChromatography method development is the process of designing and optimizing chromatographic techniques to separate and analyze complex mixtures. This includes selecting appropriate stationary and mobile phases, determining flow rates, and optimizing detection methods. Successful method development is essential for high-quality results in fields like pharmaceuticals, food safety, and environmental analysis.
