Is your lab water pure enough for sensitive PFAS analyses?
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also referred to as ‘forever chemicals’, are an increasing concern since they accumulate in the environment and may have some deleterious effects on human health.
In this webinar, Dr. Estelle Riche, Global Application Specialist from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, will discuss the importance of reagent water quality in trace analyses of PFAS by LC-MS/MS. Dr. Riche will show data on the efficiency of a lab water purification system at removing traces of PFAS from tap water and delivering ultrapure water suitable for sensitive PFAS testing. This webinar will also offer guidance on how to select an optimal water purification solution for these analyses, including tips on how to prevent water contamination for optimal experimental results.
Key learning objectives
- Understand the role of reagent water in PFAS analyses by LC-MS/MS

Milli-Q® IQ 7003/7005/7010/7015 Ultrapure & Pure Water Systems
MerckMilliporeSigma has completely redesigned its flagship Milli-Q® product, launching the new Milli-Q ® IQ 7003/05/10/15 ultrapure and pure lab water system. Now more easy-to-use, compact and sustainable, this fully-integrated system delivers consistently superior quality Type 1 and Type 2 water directly from tap water.
LC-Pak Point-of-Use Polisher
MerckThe LC-Pak is designed to provide scientists with the certitude that the ultrapure water that they are using in critical organic molecules analysis at trace and ultra-trace levels will be adequate. Recent advances in analytical techniques such as UPLC, LC-MS, LC-MS / MS have considerably improved the sensitivity of organic and biochemical molecule detection. As a result, these techniques now require improved water quality for the production of mobile phase, buffers, blanks, standards preparation, sample dilution, glassware rinsing or extraction.The granular C18 reverse phase silica in the polypropylene housing is tightly packed by a compression disc to avoid any channeling effect. This ensures that the water passing through the LC-Pak will be in close contact with the C18 chains binding organic molecules by hydrophobic interactions.Featured at EMD Millipore Pittcon 2014.LC-Pak Point-of-Use Polisher Benefits: The LC Pak is easily connected to the outlet of all Millipore Type 1 water systems (Milli-Q, Direct-Q, Synergy and Simplicity) Final purification step uses efficient C18 reverse phase silica technology to provides fresh low organic traces ultrapure water at high flow rate-when you need it Delivers a minimum of 500 L of organics-free ultrapure water Designed to answer the demands of UPLC, LC-MS and LC-MS/MS analytical techniques used for organic traces and ultra-traces analysis Validated for the production of water whose quality equals or exceeds the specifications of bottled water for LC-MS Each LC-Pak cartridge is delivered with a Certificate of Quality
