Analysis of PFAS in the Food Chain

This webinar we will help you to understand more about the latest advancements in sample preparation strategies to enable accurate PFAS determination in challenging food matrices.

PFAS bioaccumulate within in the environment and ultimately manifest as PFAS contamination in the food chain. In recent years, significant contamination has been reported in meat, fish, dairy produce fruit, vegetables as well as processed foods.

Even when sophisticated chromatographic separation and mass detection technologies are employed for their analysis, these varied and complex matrices present many challenges for accurate PFAS determination.

Key learning objectives

• Attendees will learn the latest advancements in sample preparation techniques for difficult food matrices for the analysis of PFAS
• Our sample preparation solutions for PFAS analysis have been verified and validated
• Attendees will be equipped with a workflow solutions they can implement right away

Who should attend?

This is suitable for anyone who is working in a laboratory environment preparing environmental or food samples for PFAS analysis. However, we welcome anybody who would like to simply learn more about sample preparation of food matrices for PFAS analysis.
