Tackling the challenge of forever chemicals with advanced mass spectrometry
29 Jul 2025
Dr. Gauthier Eppe from the University of Liège discusses the challenges of monitoring PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) when less than 50 compounds are currently regulated, despite their forever chemical status. Hear about the importance of advanced analytical methods to detect trace-level contamination in water and food matrices, and the critical need for international discussion to improve regulation and understanding.

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.
