Testing food for PFAS

The demand for PFAS testing in food continues to grow as toxicologists across the globe become increasingly concerned about their impact on human health. While exposure to PFAS does not cause an immediate reaction, bioaccumulation of low amounts of PFAS over a long period of time can have harmful effects. For this reason, regulatory detection limit requirements are set very low across the globe. SCIEX high end triple quadrupole systems, such as the SCIEX 7500+ system and the SCIEX 6500+ system are designed to cope with the most challenging matrices such as food. while achieving ultra-low sensitivity. In particular, the new SCIEX 7500+ system shows exceptional levels of robustness in challenging matrices thanks to Mass Guard technology. This innovative technology reduces the risk and frequency of instrument contamination by novel ion filtering prior to mass separation. The removable DJet+ assembly allows users to clean and maintain it themselves, taking control of front-end cleaning schedules.

Measuring low levels of PFAS is challenging. We know that because for decades, our experts have been at the forefront of PFAS testing and are still deeply connected with the scientific community across the world, from the US to Europe to China. SCIEX is constantly seeking to support customers with systems, sample preparations and methods for new matrices and ready to share that global knowledge with its customers.

With SCIEX, you don't just buy the system - you get the deep expertise you need to succeed. #PFASCIEX
