PFAS have been used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s and have been widely detected in drinking water, wastewater, ground and surface water, soil, and other complex matrices. Their chain of strong fluorine-carbon bonds makes these chemicals persistent and bio-accumulative over long-term exposure. More than 4,000 PFAS are known to currently have been used, and this list continues to expand. In response, regulatory agencies worldwide are implementing more stringent requirements for monitoring and identifying PFAS.
Agilent offers complete end-to-end workflows for extraction, quantification even at Ultra-trace levels, and reporting of PFAS in the environment. This includes a range of sample preparation products, HPLC columns, chemical standards, PFC-free sample containment and other HPLC supplies, Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, e-methods, as well as gas chromatography products for sampling and analyzing a challenging range of trace-level volatile and semivolatile vapors of PFAS in air.
