Implementation and validation of microwave-assisted extraction for PFAS in solid matrices under EPA method 1633A

Milestone
31 Mar 2026

PFAS are persistent environmental contaminants that pose growing challenges for laboratories as regulatory demands and sample complexity increase. Effective extraction from solid matrices is essential for accurate analysis, yet traditional methods can be slow and inconsistent.

Discover how microwave‑assisted extraction offers a faster, more reproducible, and higher‑throughput solution under EPA Method 1633A, helping researchers improve efficiency, enhance data quality, and confidently meet evolving PFAS testing requirements.

Digestion and ExtractionDigestion and extraction apparatus are used in sample preparation to break down samples or extract organic or aqueous compounds from a solid. Digestion may be conducted via hot block, microwave or Kjeldahl digestion apparatus. Extraction systems typically involve solvent extraction and include Soxhlet, Randall or Twisselmann extraction methods. Find the best digestion and extraction apparatus 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.PFAS
