Automated solid phase extraction of PFAS from aqueous samples

10 Jul 2025

Explore the findings from a study that evaluated five solid phase extraction (SPE) protocols for analyzing PFAS in aqueous samples, in alignment with US EPA Method 1633. It compared two-step sample prep leveraging Bond Elut PFAS WAX cartridges and loose Carbon with Bond Elut dual-phase PFAS WAX/Carbon S cartridges in both layered and blended formats. The study demonstrated how automated SPE with optimized sample prep consumables enhances efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability in PFAS testing across diverse environmental matrices.

Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats. Find the best SPE, SLE and SPME equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.PFASWater AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
