Quantitation of Extractable Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) in Consumer Products Using LC-MS/MS

This application news demonstrates the analysis of 46 PFAS and 25 surrogate compounds in solid matrices, such as plastic and foil consumer products, highlighting ongoing efforts to develop a new standardized method with ASTM on PFAS analysis in consumer products. Optimized conditions resulted in a method that eliminates the need for solid phase extraction, therefore significantly reducing cost and time associated with SPE sample preparation.
