Minimizing PFAS background contamination in sample preparation

Tuesday, October 20 at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT

PFAS are ubiquitous and detectable at increasingly low concentrations, making sample preparation a critical source of potential contamination. Labware, filtration consumables, and water used for dilutions and blanks can introduce background PFAS, compromising data integrity.

Join our experts in this SelectScience® webinar as they explore practical strategies to reduce PFAS contamination in sample preparation for both LC-MS and Total Organic Fluorine (TOF) analysis using combustion ion chromatography (CIC). You will learn how to identify contamination pathways, implement best practices, and select consumables validated for low PFAS background.

Sartorius solutions — including Arium® ultrapure lab water systems, Minisart® syringe filters, and Optifit® pipette tips — will be highlighted along with independent testing from Claros Technologies and Novem Scientific demonstrating their performance in LC-MS and TOF workflows.

Arium® Pro Type I Ultra Pure Water Systems

Sartorius Group

Arium® Pro Type I ultra pure water systems for the production of reagent-grade water needed for critical applications as well as routine analyses. Typical applications are the production of ultrapure water for cell culture or chromatographic applications. The Type I ultrapure water systems are available in four different versions and can be ordered as wall-mounted unit, bench-top system or built-in system. Arium® Pro features a convincing innovative design, quality and ease of use. Sophisticated display and menu functions User can choose between three Comfortable water dispense setups Highly developed electronic features Display and menu functions The innovative glass operator interface with touch function can be operated easily. The intuitive menu navigation with integrated text support is easy to handle. Pre-setting of relevant parameters for documentation, e.g. conductivity feed and product PIN protected menu and service setting Service and alarm functions supported by graphic presentation Color-coded warnings Displays measured values for water (feed water, product water, temperature, total dispended water), system information and count down for next recommended consumable replacement. Integrated totalizer to monitor water consumption Diary function Water Dispense With the manual, volume and time dispensed water control the Arium® pro gives users the greatest possible flexibility in routine applications. A countdown for the remaining amount of water is displayed and the system comes with a volume and time memory function. Manual dispense (stepless from 0,5 up to 2 l/min) Volume dispense (0,1 – 60 l) Time dispense (30 sec – 59 min) Electronic features for data backup and display Arium® Pro automatically measures the conductivity of feed and product water. These and other parameters can be displayed continuously or directly on a PC or printer and can be saved on a SD card as well. Related products Arium Smart Station Arium® Mini
