PAL System for PFAS Analysis
Fully Automated Workflows for PFAS Analysis
The PAL system enables fully automated online sample preparation and injection for a wide range of PFAS analysis workflows. It has been successfully applied in automating EPA1633 Method for environmental samples using LC-MS/MS, sensitive quantitation of PFAS in seafood for regulatory screening using LC-MS/MS, and volatile PFAS analysis in food contact materials and cosmetic products using GC-MS/MS. The automated workflows minimize manual errors and enhance reproducibility, precision, and efficiency.
PFAS in cosmetics: A comparative analysis of sample preparation techniques for PFAS analysis
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as ‘forever chemicals’, are utilized in the cosmetics industry, added to products such as lipstick and mascara, to improve water resistance and durability. The presence of these compounds in cosmetics is a growing concern for consumers and regulators, but analyzing PFAS chemicals can be complex and difficult.
In this application note, CTC Analytics explores a comparative study that evaluates two sample preparation techniques for the analysis of eight key PFAS in mascara by LC-MS.
