PFAS Testing Supplies for Regulators, Researchers, and Laboratories

Any matrix, any method, any time.

Products and Resources for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Analysis

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are human-made organofluorine compounds known as "forever chemicals" due to their exceptional resistance to environmental degradation. As part of our commitment to making the world a safer place, we have focused on developing reagents and analytical tools for more accurate PFAS quantification. Our solutions empower researchers trying to better understand the effects of PFAS, as well as regulators and labs focused on providing ongoing exposure testing services.

PFAS Testing Workflow Tools

Sample Collection

water sampling with test tube
Ensure your samples make it to the lab using containers and preservatives that will not introduce contamination that could corrupt your data reliability.

Sample Preparation

environmental sample preparation with syringe filter
Remove interferences and protect your instrumentation without contaminating your samples.

Standardization and Calibration

ampoules with analytical standards
Reference Materials are a critical part of lab quality assurance programs and ensuring your recovery rates fall within acceptable parameters.

Analysis

analytical chemistry
Columns, solvents and instrument consumables designed to provide optimal peak separation without introducing additional contamination into the samples.
