Analysis of PFAS is an essential part of water testing programs and becoming a regular requirement for monitoring in environment and food sources. As regulations, like the EU Drinking Water Directive, the EU Groundwater Directive, and the EU Water Framework Directive, have been updated or are in the process for an update, the requirements for method sensitivity have become more demanding. Whilst concentration levels go down, direct injection methods are increasingly desirable to laboratories carrying out routine analysis of PFAS where analyte preconcentration is not deemed necessary or required. They have a simple sample preparation method, which not only reduces the opportunity for contamination and error but speeds up analysis time and the requirements for large volumes of samples. This can provide labs with a higher throughput of samples and lower analysis costs.
Key Takeaways:
Don’t miss this essential opportunity to gain valuable insights from experts and stay at the forefront of PFAS analysis and regulation. We look forward to your participation!
