In recent years, a group of chemicals known as PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) has been making headlines, raising concerns about their impact on our health and the environment. Once hailed for their unique properties, these persistent 'forever' are now recognized as potential threats to human health and the environment. As awareness grows, so does the need for laboratory monitoring of the presence of PFAS in the environment.

Regular testing monitors PFAS levels and highlights contamination sources, verifies suppliers' adherence to PFAS-free standards, and helps meet regulatory standards.

Laboratory Testing of PFAS
Laboratory testing is crucial in identifying and quantifying PFAS in various matrices, including water, soil, and food products. Advanced analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) are able to detect even trace amounts of these chemicals.

At SPEX, we understand that confidence and reliability in PFAS test results are non-negotiable. That's why we've developed a range of PFAS quality control standards. These standards contain known quantities of various PFAS, providing a reliable benchmark for laboratories conducting these critical tests.
