Direct injection of drinking water for the analysis of 54 PFAS compounds by LC-MS/MS

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large, diverse group of synthetic compounds containing chains of linked carbon and fluorine atoms, and environmental exposure to PFAS has been linked to a variety of health issues in humans. To evaluate the health risk, an expanding list of governmental regulatory agencies have established validated methods stating the quantitative levels for individual or collective PFAS. Thermo Fisher Scientific aims to demonstrate the quantitative measurement of 54 PFAS compounds in water samples by direct injection with precision and accuracy that meets current European regulatory reporting requirements.
