Understanding PFAS
PFAS are synthetic chemicals found in many products, from non-stick cookware to firefighting foams. Due to their persistence, they have been detected in water, soil, and living organisms, raising concerns about their long-term effects on health and the environment.
New PFAS CRM Mixtures for EPA Methods: Enhancing Compliance and Efficiency
The U.S. EPA's release of various analytical methods, including Methods 537.1, 533, 1621, SW-846, 8237, and the latest Method 1633, has significantly advanced the regulation and analysis of PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances). As awareness grows about the environmental and health risks posed by PFAS, the demand for accurate testing and certified reference materials has become more crucial than ever.
To meet this need, new PFAS mixtures tailored for these EPA methods have been introduced, featuring multiple analytes at fixed concentrations. These mixtures are designed to provide comprehensive coverage and improve laboratory efficiency. With fewer calibration runs, higher sample throughput, and reduced sample preparation time, labs can ensure more efficient and reliable PFAS analysis.
Key Features of PFAS Mixtures for EPA Methods:
- Comprehensive Coverage: Includes multiple analytes, offering extensive detection capabilities for diverse PFAS compounds.
- Improved Efficiency: Fixed concentrations optimize laboratory workflows, reducing the time and resources needed for analysis.
- Quality Assurance: Certified to ISO 17034, with each batch undergoing rigorous quality control to guarantee stability and reliability, accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis.
