Reduction of PFAS contaminants using Arium® Comfort I UV

1 Sept 2026

PFAS analysis demands exceptional control of background contamination, particularly when measurements reach single-digit or sub-ppt levels.

This application note investigates the performance of the Sartorius Arium® Comfort I UV laboratory water purification system for producing high-purity water suitable for sensitive PFAS testing. Using complementary LC-MS and combustion ion chromatography (CIC) methods, researchers evaluated both standard and PTFE-free system configurations under real-world tap-water conditions and with PFAS-spiked samples.
