Solutions for the Analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent and harmful chemicals that can be found in a variety of environmental samples, including drinking water, wastewater, biosolids, soils, air, animal tissue. With concerns rising quickly about the health risks associated with PFAS exposure and developing regulation across the world, it is important to ensure proper monitoring of these chemicals in the environment. Shimadzu offers a variety of analytical solutions for PFAS analysis, including standardized methods, such as those published by EPA (EPA 537.1, 533, 8327, 1633) and ASTM (D8421, D7968) and new analytical workflows. These solutions will enable your success for monitoring PFAS and protecting public health.

Resources
Shimadzu's LC-MS/MS methods for the analysis of PFAS in the environmental matrices are easy to use. They have been vetted to provide high quality results at a low cost, for EPA methods for drinking water (EPA 537.1, EPA 533), wastewater (EPA 1633) and more. Compare here Shimadzu’s LC-MS/MSs and chooses the choice of speed, sensitivity and resolution to meet the demands of high-throughput routine PFAS analysis and/or more specialized applications.
PFAS Analysis Demystified
Efficiently quantifying the presence of PFAS in different types of environmental samples can be overwhelming, and three frequent issues deepen this challenge:
- Ruling out the LCMS instrument as the source of the PFAS contamination
- Streamlining the data process and review for optimal turnaround times of PFAS results
- Accessing support resources to expand the ever-growing workflows for PFAS
This video presents vetted LC/MS/MS methods and software designed to streamline PFAS analytical workflows by minimizing these three bottlenecks in the process.
