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.
