Asia PFAS summit: a scientific series

Watch our very first Asia PFAS summit event and learn:

Where do these “forever chemicals” begin
What are the latest trends in PFAS testing throughout Asia
What you need to know about PFAS in food
How PFAS affects human health
How LC-MS can help solve challenges related to testing PFAS chemicals
Where other scientists and experts are focusing their PFAS research

Explore PFAS trends and its impact on the region

The analysis of poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is now a regular test conducted in many environmental laboratories around the globe. The need for PFAS testing is expanding beyond the usual matrices found in environmental analysis to include food products, animal tissues, and human biological fluids.

Join SCIEX customers and industry experts from Asia and beyond to gain insights into topics ranging from the history of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to analytical testing methods.
