PFAS analysis solutions
Integrated PFAS testing solutions
SCIEX and Phenomenex deliver high-sensitivity solutions for detecting and monitoring PFAS—persistent contaminants found in water, soil, food, and biological systems—helping labs meet global regulatory demands with confidence.
Targeted PFAS quantitation for routine and regulatory workflows
SCIEX 7500+ system
Engineered for ultra-sensitive and robust quantitation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) across diverse matrices, including water, food, and textiles. Enhanced resilience and sensitivity, particularly in complex sample environments. Now featuring validated direct-injection LC-MS/MS workflows, the system enables streamlined PFAS analysis without the need for extensive sample preparation.
SCIEX 6500+ system
Designed for high-sensitivity quantitation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) across diverse matrices. It is particularly well-suited for routine environmental and food testing workflows where enhanced sensitivity is required, offering robust performance and regulatory compliance capabilities.
SCIEX 5500+ system
A high-performance platform designed to support sensitive and reliable quantitation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in environmental samples. It is QTRAP-ready and well-suited for laboratories conducting routine water testing under regulatory frameworks.
ExionLC AE system
The ExionLC AE system, paired with the dedicated PFAS testing kit, delivers ultra-low background and minimal carryover—ensuring accurate quantitation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) even at trace levels. This solution empowers analysts to meet stringent regulatory standards with confidence.
Non-targeted screening and identification of emerging PFAS compounds
SCIEX 7600+ system
A high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) platform designed for advanced PFAS analysis. It leverages the Zeno trap and electron activated dissociation (EAD) to improve sensitivity and spectral quality, making it ideal for identifying both known and novel PFAS compounds in complex matrices.
SCIEX 8600 system
The latest high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) platform, combining the Zeno trap with electron-activated dissociation (EAD), delivers exceptional sensitivity, speed, and precision when the ultimate sensitivity is needed.
SCIEX X500R QTOF system
Designed for both targeted and non-targeted PFAS analysis. It offers quantitation capabilities comparable to triple quadrupole systems, while enabling broader compound discovery through accurate mass workflows.
ExionLC AE system
The ExionLC AE system, paired with the dedicated PFAS testing kit, delivers ultra-low background and minimal carryover—ensuring accurate quantitation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) even at trace levels. This solution empowers analysts to meet stringent regulatory standards with confidence.
Columns and consumables
Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) cartridges
HPLC columns
Gemini C18 and Luna PS C18 columns are widely used in PFAS analysis for their ability to separate both short- and long-chain compounds with high precision, while minimising matrix interferences and ensuring low background contamination. These columns support key regulatory methods including EPA 533 and 1633, as well as EU Drinking Water Directive (EU) 2020/2184 and Commission Regulation EU 2022/2388.
Sample prep and accesories
PFAS testing kits
Offering complete, method-compliant solutions for water, food, and environmental analysis, including EPA and EU workflows such as 533, 537.1, 8327, and 1633. These kits include PFAS QC-tested SPE tubes, verified low-background consumables, and customizable components to streamline sample prep and reduce contamination across diverse matrices.
