Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent and harmful chemicals that can be commonly found in the environment globally.
LC/MS/MS Method Package for PFAS in Drinking Water
Provides Methods for Analyzing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Drinking Water According to EPA Methods 533 and 537.1

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has standardized two methods for the analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in drinking water: EPA Method 537.1 and 533, encompassing a total of 29 PFAS. These methods were used as reference for creating a vetted LC/MS/MS Method Package for Analyzing PFAS in Drinking Water. This method package includes ready-to-use analytical conditions for EPA Methods 533 and 537.1, examples of analytical procedures for the methods, and various other information, such as precautions for sample preparation and analysis. Using this product, 52 PFAS compounds* in drinking water can be analyzed.
* Including internal standard substances, surrogates, etc.
LC/MS/MS Method Package for PFAS in Drinking Water
- Ready-to-Use Analytical Methods
The package includes optimized analytical conditions for LC/MS/MS analysis, enabling analysis to start as soon as the system, reagents, and columns are available. There is no need to conduct a time-consuming process to identify analytical conditions. - Illustrated Examples of Analysis Procedures
Step-by-step diagrams guide the analysts, even the most unexperienced, through the steps of the EPA approved analytical workflows.
In addition, each procedural step includes the corresponding text from the relevant EPA method as a reference when needed. - Precautions and Advice for Analysis
Recommendations for ensuring an efficient analysis process are included.

Optional Kit for PFAS Analysis
"Optional Kit for PFAS Analysis" (sold separately) is available to minimize background contribution from PFAS potentially leaching from liquid contact surfaces in the LC system. Using the Method Package for PFAS in combination with this kit will enable PFAS analysis with even higher reliability and robustness.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent and harmful chemicals that can be commonly found in the environment globally. These anthropogenic chemicals can come from various sources such as manufacturing, industrial applications, food contact materials and consumer products, and eventually end up and accumulate in the water, soil and living organisms.
