Analysis of PFAS in Drinking Water
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been used in a wide variety of industries around the world since the 1940s. Originally considered biologically inactive, more in-depth research has revealed their toxicity to humans and wildlife alike.

App Note / Case Study
Extraction and Recovery of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances
Polyfluorinated surfactants (PFS) are the main group of chemicals in commercial packaging blends and are a cause of major concern as they can be precursors of poly- and per-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), which have been linked to cancers, decreases in fertility and reduced immune system function.

Quantitation in LC-MS
With growing concerns over a multitude of food risks, accurate and sensitive analytical tools are needed to ensure food safety. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become an indispensable method for food safety testing and quality control, capable of detecting and quantifying even trace amounts of numerous contaminants and harmful species in food.
