Perfluoroalkyl substance testing guide
6 Aug 2023The number of PFAS compounds found on current analyte lists represents less than 1% of the potential environmental contaminants that could be contributed by this large class of compounds. However, researchers continue to identify additional PFAS compounds with potential human health and environmental impacts, thereby increasing the scope of the problem. As PFAS analytes list continue to grow, future analytical challenges - sample preparation, chromatography and mass spectrometry - will become more complex. This PFAS Guide from Phenomenex offers new analytical approaches to help with the evolving PFAS challenge.

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.Environmental ContaminationContaminants in the environment are harmful chemicals that are present in the air, land and water. These include pesticides, pharmaceuticals, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and many more.Environmental AnalysisEnvironmental analysis describes a variety of tests that determine the effect of chemicals, processes and particulates such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have on the environment.
